The Fragmentation of Design Jobs
Updated: Oct 21
The design industry has become increasingly fragmented, with a growing number of job titles and specialisations. As designer Jonas Downey has pointed out, good design requires a broad understanding of problems, possibilities and materials. It's a perspective we strongly agree with at Magnetic.
Our designers are not only capable of working across different disciplines and responsibilities, but comfortable doing so. A good designer shouldn't be limited by a job description. Flexibility, creative thinking and a willingness to take on responsibilities beyond traditional design work, including project management, copywriting and coding, are all valuable qualities.
You may have noticed from our previous job descriptions that we don't put designers into boxes. Rather than looking exclusively for specialists in UI or UX, we value people who are willing to develop their skills across a range of disciplines. Continuous learning keeps the work interesting and helps our team grow.
After all, design thinking is about thinking outside the box.
