UX Careers: Pathways

I was invited to sit on a panel discussing UX careers recently, and I'd like to share some of the questions that were posed. This is going to be a new series of posts that I'll string out over the next few weeks.

What career pathways do you believe have emerged for UX professionals in the past 10 years?

The first one that jumps to mind is DesignOps. Derived from DevOps, Dave Malouf coined the term in 2014, and it caught on rapidly, largely because a lot of people were thinking about it and trying to mature it, but they hadn't had a name for it. Dave worked with Lou Rosenfeld to launch the DesignOps Summit in 2017. Today, large design organizations are staffing DesignOps teams.

Another fairly recent career path is that of UX Engineer. This is a hybrid role: part frontend developer but with a true design bent. They have the chops to contribute production-ready code, and they understand interaction design and visual design enough to realize and respect the intent of the designer. They ensure that implementation is faithful to the design.

I would also suggest that, while UX researchers have been around for a long time, the role has really come into its own in the past 10 years. ResearchOps followed right on the heals of DesignOps, and there was widespread acknowledgement that we, as designers, still had a lot to learn about the rigor of quality research. Teams were maturing to the point that research specialists were becoming common.

The overall trend is that as UX has matured as a discipline, it has resulted in more specialization, which provides more career pathways.

What the fuck is wrong with you.

This has to be the single worst, most egregious example of bad UI/UX I have ever seen in my entire life.

And I do not say that lightly. I have been daily-driving Linux for the past seven years, so I have seen my fair share of horrid interfaces.

But this is on another level. Whoever made this needs to spend at least a week reevaluating their entire life and the choices that led to this moment. Monumental failure.

Just. Why.

🪄 Day 2 / 7 of Developing Steam Demo from Game Jam Game

The features I want to finish by day 7 are:

Skill making system (from randomly found components in the dungeons)

Random passive ability pickups (+ various stat upgrades like HP or Shark Teeth UP)

Basic overworld traversal system

Was busy today, but got some progress on a skill-making menu. I like magic circles, so there's gonna be magic circles.

hi! icy here! ♡

i am currently studying computer engineering as my college major. i have great interest with the intersection between design and engineering.

in my free time, i love to learn (just learning in general). some of my favorite hobbies are ballet, reading books and playing video games. i also love being creative... i also really like anything related to astronomy and self-improvement.

academic interests: engineering, computer engineering, ux/ui design, human computer interaction, design, ai, robotics, astrophysics i have degrees in history (focus is on american immigrant history), visual communication design (graphic design) and liberal arts.

i don't think i'll ever stop learning.

i hope that sharing my journey would help and inspire someone out there. ♡

icy's (big sis advice portion): i know it may get overwhelming sometimes but here is a reminder that you are right in the middle of something you used to pray for... be kind to yourself and trust the process...

[orthogonal-slut]

so ive been dabbling in game development with godot and blender.

just wondering if there's any game dev focused blogs to follow for inspiration and tips? the godot tag seems to be populated by an anime character i am not familiar with

tumblr's photo viewer sucks immensely, it's overly complicated for what it needs to do, i shouldn't have to wait an additional 15+ seconds for an image that's already loaded on my screen to load in what is essentially a separate application, it's literally faster and less annoying to download the image and just open it on my phone if i want to zoom in on it and look at the details, plus i don't risk accidentally swiping up and being subjected to some freak shit image that i don't care about and did not want to look at. does anyone understand. i feel like i'm going insane

just got epic praise at work

Meeeee (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Hallo there ‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ☾.

 A little intro would be in order

My name’s Sam, 20 , a lover of learning, pinterest addict

I’m currently self studying frontend development, illustration(Adobe Illustrator) and  a bit of ui/ux design. 

In my free time, I read. Well I used to but I dunno… I don’t seem to do so anymore. Every book these days makes me sad. And I really want to get into the classics and Russian literature but they’re just so sad! Well maybe not all of them are sad sad but they have sad scenes where some character dies and it gets to me Every Time.(╥﹏╥)  I’m working on it though, I’m pushing through David Copperfield. I love love looove the book so I’ve gotten very far by taking a one week pause after every heart breaking event. Like when…okay no spoilers.

I love learning philosophy, psychology, coding , science ( esp physics), pure mathematics and history. I’m not as well versed in them as I’d like but we learn every day!!

Career-wise I’d want to enter the engineering field.Electrical engineering orsomething related cos it's absolutely exciting!

Languages; I speak English, Fante and Norwegian( cos I moved here). AND I’m currently learning French( A2)

✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩  ✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩ ✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩ ✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩ ✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹

What I’ve learnt so far: It’s really not so easy to learn a new skill sometimes. On most days I just  want  to give up cos it gets so frustrating. But that’s the price to pay I think. If you keep showing up, you’ll improve. You can’t not improve even if you tried. Put in the practice, mindful practice mind you. It’s not just about the number of hours you spend practicing. You have to make sure you’re learning and reviewing your mistakes at every point. But sometimes, you CAN’T find your mistakes. No biggie, just keep practicing. As you do it over and over again, your brain automatically learns what works and doesn’t. Trust me, the brain is wayyyyy more awesome than we think it is.

Souuu I’ll be blogging my journey. Everything about it and everything in between. I look forward to it ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝).

Oh and here's my personal blog @hekademia

✨ Day 58 of Game Dev for 🫱Teleport Man🫲

I WANTED THE BUTTON FOR STARTING A NEW GAME TO FEEL IMPACTFUL

[robixlab]

Simulator for pilots and astronauts

How can we improve the effectiveness of training for pilots and astronauts? They spend a lot of effort on training in the gym, on physico-medical tests, ship control simulators and, of course, a centrifuge (but rarely, because there is a queue).

We decided to slightly improve the UX of this training process and designed a new simulator. The key idea is to combine several types of devices and types of interaction, just as it will be in real flight conditions.

At the base of this device is the training of the vestibular apparatus, checking the fulfillment of control tasks, and checking medical indicators.

This is simulator with the rotating chair. It enables a variety of exercises and tests without the need for a large centrifuge, complementing it but not replacing it. Boosting workout intensity and productivity while cutting costs.

Disciples of Varahces Progress Update 8

I'm preparing for transitioning out of early access. Of course, the main content of the full release update will be the fourth and final stage, but I'm also working on some visual improvements to stuff that already exists.

Recently, I've updated the main UI. Here's a comparison.

Old:

New:

I've moved the health bar to the bottom right and changed where the health text is, and I've overhauled the wave counter and objective text. The new wave counter even has a bit of animation to checking off the boxes, instead of a simple number increasing.

Of course, these UI changes are not final, so if anyone has thoughts on the UI, let me know about it!

Other than this, the bulk of the work for the next update will be the next stage. Once that's done, the game will basically be complete and will no longer be in early access. Until then, you can still check out the game and enjoy it before the full release.
