The Vanishing Designer

Scrolling through the UX Collective blogs today (2021) I came across this post, The Vanishing Designer, by Chuánqi Sun.

 

Losing the design diversity means falling into a singular narrative of how design must be done, which grants unfair and self-reinforcing advantage to the mainstream while discouraging, stifling, or even punishing the idiosyncratic designers who bring unorthodox but remarkably innovative processes to the table. The true opportunity cost is the diverse future that humanity can no longer access.

    All roads leading to averaging and statistical norming. Boring.

    Still I hold belief that idiosyncratics will never stop.

    Hey JR! Whats up?
