I recently read this article about “UX Mega roles,” which confirmed the trends I’m seeing in the User Experience (UX) job market right now. Increasingly, companies are looking to hire one person to do all things UX – design, research, writing, etc. as opposed to one person dedicated to each area.

When it comes to UX, it’s never one size fits all. When I talk with designers, I always talk about UX like it’s a spectrum. It’s everything from UX Research to Visual Design. As a UX Designer, where do you fall into that spectrum? It’s never as cut and dry as you think. Sure, there are consultants out there who can do end-to-end UX design. But truly, it’s never a simple plug and play.
