We Should Stop Bullying Visual Designers

A few nights ago, my partner and I had an interesting and honest conversation about passive aggression in the design community. At one…point we both agreed that glorifying the “UX/Product/designer-who-codes/🦄” is a problem. I’ve been in a similar position for the last few years to the point where I spend more time in Atom than anything, but I’ve never guessed how people outside our bubble might feel. ¶ Most of us started our design careers doing visual design. At some point, some of us felt like working in a more code-heavy/data-driven/system-building environment (you don’t have to pick one) feels better.
