Is it just me, or is content design no longer enough as a standalone skill?
The role is expanding beyond words into UX, product thinking, research, prototyping, and AI.
Content is still core. But the value increasingly comes from understanding the entire experience, not just the copy within it.
Then again, isn’t that what good content designers have always done?
Maybe what’s changing isn’t the work itself, but how broadly we’re expected to demonstrate it.
Curious how others are seeing this shift.

What matters more when hiring a designer: years of experience or the work itself?
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately while rebuilding my portfolio and applying for new roles. Design is one of those fields where a number on a CV can say very little. Someone can have five years of experience and a weak portfolio, while another person may have fewer years in a formal design role but much stronger visual thinking, range and execution.
In my own process, I’ve been focusing much more on how I present the work itself: the decisions behind it, the systems I build, the way a project develops across brand, editorial, digital or UI. I’m trying to make the portfolio show not just what I made, but how I think.
Curious what other designers and hiring managers think: when you review a designer, what matters more to you, years of experience or the actual portfolio?
