#182 Why Is Being a Designer So Confusing in 2026?
Ioana explores how designers in tech are experiencing their work, and the industry itself, right now. She noticed that what designers share publicly often differs from what they told her in private, so she set out to study their real experiences. That led her to create the Design Wellbeing Index, a tool for understanding what is actually happening in the industry. If you’re a designer, take a few minutes to complete the survey and help paint an honest picture of our industry. Check out these links: Join Anfi’s Job Search community.
