Should you become a UI Designer in 2023?

Written by

UI design is having a moment — is it the right moment for you?

The pull is understandable: high demand, flexible work, and a craft that sits at the intersection of taste and technology. But 'should you become a UI designer' is the wrong question. The better one is whether the day-to-day reality matches the version you've imagined.

What the job actually involves

Most people who quit UI design don't quit because they can't design. They quit because they didn't realize how much of the job is meetings, trade-offs, and defending decisions.

We break down what the work really looks like in 2023 — the tools, the team dynamics, the parts nobody mentions in bootcamp marketing. We cover what makes someone genuinely good at this versus merely employable, and which adjacent roles might actually be a better fit for your particular strengths.

If you're trying to decide whether to invest the next year of your life here, read this first.
