Introducing our new collection, The Future of Design! 💫 https://lnkd.in/eMre_i95
The best designers I’ve worked with are “full stack.” And I’m starting to believe this is where the entire design profession is going: If you're in the top 10%, specializing in your craft will still be highly valuable. But we’re also seeing more designers broaden their skillset – learning to prototype, becoming "design engineers,” mastering product strategy, and doubling down on their business acumen. This might explain why Maven’s top converting category is design! What’s driving this? Unfortunately, tech downsizing particularly targeted designers. As companies get smaller, designers must do more with less, which means having more diverse skills. Simultaneously, AI is enabling designers to dramatically increase their output. With new tools making it easier to create high fidelity work, the ceiling for excellence in design is only getting higher. That’s why today, we're launching a dozen new courses for designers: leaders of the craft sharing their experience on how to develop your skills and grow your cross-functional influence. 💫 Introducing...
