How do you envision the future of your industry?
I foresee a future where AI plays an increasingly pivotal role in digital design. While AI technologies will undoubtedly revolutionize certain aspects of the design process, there will still be a demand for bespoke design solutions tailored to the unique needs and preferences of discerning clients. In this evolving landscape, designers will have symbiotic partnerships with AI, leveraging its capabilities to augment and enhance their creativity, ultimately delivering more value and innovation to clients.
The democratization of design tools may lower barriers to entry, empowering folk from all backgrounds to engage in creative expression without extensive technical expertise. However, while these accessible platforms may enable the general public to experiment and innovate, the realm of high-level design will continue to require the expertise of specialists.
These professionals will be essential in pushing the boundaries of innovation. Thus, while design tools may become more accessible, the role of specialists will remain indispensable in driving forward the future of design excellence.
