    This is a very misleading piece of advice .. for the average design environment, you are at the mercy of stakeholders who cannot visualise flows and UX

      No advice is going to apply to everyone :) but I'll say one thing... I see 10x more content preaching the exact opposite as this video. So my goal is to provide a different perspective so that people don't feel like they have to blindly follow the process anymore.

    I really appreciate the last question and answer. As someone who teaches, trying to figure out how to have students experience that process is a challenge. The traditional art school critique gets at it, but also misses the mark. More presentation-like experiences might get closer to learning those lessons.

    The fact that Adobe didn't hire a designer until Photoshop 4 is blowing my mind. "Let's make a tool for designers, but not hire any designers on the team" That's just comical to me.

    • @andreiherasimchuk
      @andreiherasimchuk 5 дней назад

      To be clear, Adobe had designers on Photoshop and Illustrator to help the engineers design features from a customer point of view, but they were professionally trained graphic designers, illustrators, and photographers. (Russell Brown and Luanne Cohen, for example.) Back in the early 90s, I think the number of people who called themselves a UI/UX designer was less than 100 people in Silicon Valley, and most of them worked at Apple or Microsoft. I happened to be the first designer hired specifically work in on the interface and design of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

    • @Brucey69
      @Brucey69 4 дня назад

      The Knoll Brothers that co-founded Photoshop were both students of visual art. Thomas Knoll worked as a visual effects artist at Industrial Light and Magic. Many of the original team were visual artists, the term “Designer” was just beginning to emerge at that time. Industrial Design was perhaps the only professional field at that time considered to be true “Design”. Everything else was art and engineering.

    • @andreiherasimchuk
      @andreiherasimchuk 4 дня назад

      Your’e thinking of John Knoll, Thomas’ brother, who worked at ILM. As for “designer” we’re talking short hand for what people call UI, UX, or Product Designer in the tech industry specifically. As for “true” design, I have no idea what your point is, as clearly the automobile industry, fashion, architecture, graphic design, packaging design, and a whole host of other industries also have “designers” where the term had been around well before the 90s.

This video also helped me realized why I love working with startups--all of these ideas really resonated with me. It's really hard to switch back to more traditional, corporate roles when you are used to approaching products and design in this way.

I literally added a "To Watch" list of the conversations discussed in the video - a great idea to summarize old conversations and increase their discoverability!
