Prototyping has become easier with integrated or built in capabilities. A whole team of designers can work off of a source of truth to keep designs consistent across many files. They have both built libraries into their tools so that designers don’t have to copy/paste and hope that the component is the right and/or most up-to-date one. But, as much as the top dog varies, most have also gotten so much more robust and honed for UX work! Take Figma and Sketch, for example. I mean, here’s a prototyping tool comparison video from just a few years ago that doesn’t even include Figma, which according to the Design Tool Database was the most used tool in 2021. Since then, I swear design tools have come and gone out fashion as quickly as clothing trends: Photoshop, Omnigraffle, Axure, Invision, Sketch, AdobeXD, Figma, etc. Screenshot from Prototyping Tool Comparison Video: To this day, I find the sentiment to be at my advantage. That’s when I decided that if I couldn’t do my job with pen and paper (or whiteboard and marker), then I wasn’t a very good designer. I had spent a lot of time wrangling the tools to bend to my will and while doing that, sucking up my time for letting my imagination run wild, to play, explore, and make new and in the end, I didn’t find the “me” in any of them. Despite all my effort, they ended up looking templated with little new or interesting thinking. In fact, all the projects I had done in those tools I didn’t particularly like. Just as my lovely professors has said, knowing how to wireframe or mockup in a particular tool 100% did not matter. Instead, I began to prepare myself for my job hunt by developing a few scrappy ways of making wireframes and mockups with Powerpoint, the early version of Balsamiq, hobbling along in Illustrator, doing my best to study up on the newest tools.Īs predictable as sunrise, my little panic streak was all for nought. Being an anxious person by nature, I listened, but I didn’t really hear them. That my foundational education was going to be the thing that mattered to landing a great job. My professors assured me that it wasn’t going to matter. UX designer roles (at least in name) were newer to the industry and few and far between. What I hadn’t learned was a thing about visual design or engineering, which at the time seemed like truly marketable skills. I had big dreams, great process, strong collaboration skills, and an academic basis for how to think about and communicate design. After 2 awesome years of learning about HCI and doing engaging student projects I had totally fallen head over heels in love with design (and my now husband).
