Before reactionary sparks fly, I should clarify that professional unhappiness is very different than emotional happiness. Despite my upbeat and engaging conversations, it was clear that designers have fewer growth opportunities and are less valued than their engineering counterparts. If you are currently a UX professional, it’s pretty likely you work in one of these types of organizations.” (Elaine Wherry)

These trends define design’s role in a much broader, strategic context than its roots: the making of things and beautiful things. Although that remains an important contribution, they will be a manifestation of a solution that may involve many different forms, including intangibles such as strategy and experiences. Among designers and educators, there has been an enthusiastic response to taking on these trends, although there is also anxiety about whether designers are adequately prepared to take on the broader context of the roles these trends imply for them.” (AIGA)

These changes are not immediate, and are not complete; just as they didn’t begin overnight, they will continue to evolve as culture continues to morph.

These shifts, however, have already had*and will continue to have*unprecedented effects on the essence of business, commerce, and trade. Each of the shifts, taken individually, tells a compelling tale of opportunity and cultural change; when considered together, the three shifts paint a picture of a world where the human condition is
empowered by the connections of design and business, and where the products, systems, and services that are bought and sold have a positive impact on society and culture.” (Matt Schoenholz and Jon Kolko) download PDF
