Appreciate the perspective, @Bhavin Hirpara I come at this from the other side, as a developer building the very tools that some fear "replace humans." The reality is nuanced; it's both true and untrue simultaneously.
For instance, I recently built a essay grading system for an ed-tech platform that handles grading, plagiarism checks, collaboration detection, and instant feedback. Consequently, they did cut back on human assessors
The takeaway is the necessity of mastering multiple skills within your niche to offer end-to-end business value. A holistic designer is secure; "just-a-logo" designer may be vulnerable. Do you see the distinction?
Here is my litmus test for this: If you are still the one designing the blueprint/workflow, defining the desired outcomes, and orchestrating the task sequence, you don't need to worry.
Hi, I’m a web designer running a small web agency.

Most designers’ portfolios forget one crucial question.
‘Can you solve our problems?’
Result?
No chance to showcase your work.
Last year, I removed 14 projects from my portfolio.
Kept 4.
Those showed the problem, the thinking, and the result.
Not just the shiny screen.
Clients will notice your impact, not just your knowledge.
What are you going to fix first?
Design taught me discipline, patience, and problem solving.
Every project forces you to:
• Think logically
• Understand users
• Balance business + creativity
That’s why I love what I do.
Design isn’t my job.
It’s my craft.
