I recently joined the newly formed but stellar team at Weekend, Inc in Jakarta, Indonesia as a UI/UX designer (or whatever the cool kids calls it nowadays). We are cooking up several secret projects and some not-so-secret projects and by the way, we are still hiring.
There will of course always be some room for specialists, especially in large enterprises, so I’m certainly not predicting a desolate future for those whose skills are highly focused. Extremely talented people will always find a way forward, so long as they remain flexible. But it does seem evident to me that, more and more, if you call yourself a digital designer, it behooves you to be a visual designer as much as anything else.
