In this episode, Jeremy joins the UXPerts crew to talk about the yearly State of UX article by UXdesign.cc

Have we entered “Late-Stage UX?”

This week Jeremy joins Jason and Ephie from the UXPerts podcast to discuss the yearly breakdown of UX trends from the UX Collective team.

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve likely seen this article floating around the internet the last couple of weeks.

It’s a somewhat sobering reminder of where we’re at with the UX Design practice in 2024. It may seem somewhat negative and disheartening at first, but I think there are a lot of positive silver linings to be uncovered if you think critically about where we are.

Have a listen to uncover three unique perspectives about the state of UX going into 2024.

Jason Moore and Ephie Risho host a weekly podcast called UXPERTS, focusing on the intersection of UX Leadership and Business Outcomes. You can learn more about the show at uxperts.info and find them on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Google Play.

Topics:
• We kick it off by digging into AI and automation, both for the role of UX Designer and the democratization of design.
• We then move on to market saturation and how that’s affecting team structures.
• Next up is the idea of “commoditization of design” for low-risk use cases. We look at some of the ethics of automation and then get into deceptive patterns that have emerged that erode user trust.
• Finally, we each assess the state of UX today and what we can look forward to in the coming year.

I’ve been fortunate enough to guide students who are exploring concepts they’re truly passionate about. It’s not just about following a curriculum; it’s about shaping that curriculum around what excites each student. This approach emphasizes not just knowledge, but a deep love for the discipline.
