UX evolution
Simple anatomy of UX• Research
• Design
• UI Engineering
• Testing
UX evolution
Realities of UX training• Early pioneers were often not trained, found UX by
accident
• Newer practitioners have practical skills training
• Few UX pros are trained to be experts in software, hardware, science, or technology

The Future of UX
• Research
• Design
• UI Engineering
• Testing
Creation under threat
The Future of UX
Creation under threat• Gaps for software to go are being filled
• Many design patterns established
• AI replacing the need for UI; vanishing interfaces
If you do not have real science and engineering chops you likely will not be part of true product creation & development. Some may stay and survive. Some will evolve and uplevel. Some will find other paths. And… some will be left behind. Context? See: Design, Graphic
The Future of UX
The new normal
What’s a creative to do?• Hang on, hope you are one of the people for whom an
old-school job remains available
• Remain in product creation, take a research or testing role
• Flex into design for more communications/marketing
• Focus on a specific vertical industry
• Go deep into science and engineeringThe Future of UX
Go deep into science & engineering
