Hi Halli,
Thank you for doing an AMA.
For the past 7 years I've been trying to understand what design means. From educating myself with the knowledge of people like Donald Norman to finishing a bachelor in interaction design and working at a digital design agency just like Ueno.
One of my conclusions is that design, for me personally, is something absolutely frustrating. When I started out in the field, I thought I knew a lot. Now that I've become more experienced, I tend to feel that I know nothing.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect)
The field of design is moving so fast. Perceptions on what design is change by the minute. Buzzwords devaluate interesting abstract concepts.
Do you recognize this tendency or am I alone?
Isn't a swastika always made by dicks?
OP here, I just wanted to say; thank you for all the messages. I felt a bit overwhelmed when I opened designernews this afternoon. I know some people think that our community has become more passive aggressive / unpleasant over the years, but this topic has proven for me that people actually do still take time to write something useful and be supportive. Thanks,
Thank you Batuhan, I’ll read the articles ASAP and come back to you. Thanks.
This comment is so useful! Thank you so much.
I will definitely remap some keyboard combinations :) Sketch has proven itself to be a monster command (+shift) c/v abuser.
Yes, I have ignored the pain for way to long. Hopefully now I will recover soon :(
Thanks for your message, John
Thank you so much, I will look into this tomorrow :)
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I can really relate to the phone usage problem, I’m trying to use it as less as possible. Though as a native app designer, it’s proven hard!
Take care!
