As a designer I would focus on taste, aesthetics and craft. Going to be hard for Ai to beat that. Companies will definitely flock to Ai to optimize for design speed but, everything will end up looking similar with repetitive UX patterns. To me, this means in the long term, it will be taste, aesthetics and craft that will be the big differentiator.

It could be playing a small part, but I do think it's more to do with the economy more than anything else.

AI tools are changing the freelance design landscape, but they're not causing a decline in jobs. Instead, they’re shifting the types of tasks in demand. Designers can use AI to increase efficiency and take on more complex work, but simpler tasks may be automated. Freelancers who adapt by learning to leverage AI will remain competitive, while those who don’t may face more competition. Overall, AI is creating new opportunities and shifting the industry, rather than diminishing freelance design jobs. Mikayla Campinos
