Why Demand for Designers Is on the Rise | Figma Blog
Our latest study suggests that AI is driving renewed momentum in design hiring. We unpack why that is, what hiring managers prioritize, and which skills designers need to get ahead.

Love your comment, Stephanie. I've been screaming this from the mountain tops for MONTHS. Good designers that actively network and keep their portfolio/skills/certifications updated, will be fine.
I work on the corporate side of design as well and I can't tell you how much...
super!
