Everybody is a designer revisited: A Retrospective on Designs Power, Position, and Future in an Era of Increasing Uncertainty
Co-presented by Colin Owens and Lou Susi at the 2025 UXPA Boston Conference at The Boston Sheraton on Copley
In the mid-to-late 2010s, the provocative phrase Everybody is a designer gained traction in UX and design circles. For some, it was a rallying cry for democratization; for others, a frustrating oversimplification of a deeply strategic profession. The debate sparked conversations about designs role in business, its strategic value, and its place in the product-development triad.
Fast forward to 2025: UX and design professionals are navigating an industry shaken by waves of layoffs, shifting priorities, and increasing commoditization. As design moved from external agencies to in-house teams and embraced methodologies like Design Thinking, have we inadvertently diluted our influence? Did the push for inclusivity in design inadvertently lead to its own marginalization? And most importantly: Where do we go from here?A storyFirst Approach to Human-Centered Design Now with Behavior Modes!

The document discusses a human-centered design approach emphasizing the importance of storytelling in creating user experiences. It advocates for design that is immersive, social, and relatable, urging designers to leverage human stories rather than relying solely on technical methodologies. By incorporating user research and iterative processes, the document highlights the need to create more meaningful interactions and experiences through design.the experience of experience design

The Experience of Experience Design discusses the group social dynamics involved in the work of experience design teams.
By developing better self- and social-awareness to tune into the personalities, cultures and collaborations we're constantly immersed in, we can better manage challenging situations in the moment and guide cross-departmental teams to more efficient and effective results.
The presentation also walks through 2 semi-fictionalized, 'speculative' scenarios that describe how 'the experience' of the design experience feels across different UX-guided and -unguided group dynamic situations.
The question we're considering here:
How can we incorporate deeper awareness through our human-centered mindset to issue far more effective and human guidance for our people, teams and processes?
Not for pure UX Design beginners, but recommended for everyone.A storyFirst Approach to Human-Centered Design | Installment #2 @ the 2014 UX...
