I’m really happy to see this thread as it’s something I think about a lot. I was career switcher and didn’t get into the field until my mid-30s. I’m currently working as a senior designer and still have a lot of enthusiasm and drive. Most of my peers are 10-15 years younger than me, but I find that my past years of experience in another field has given me the confidence and ability to move up quicker than usual. I’m currently considering a management position but am torn because I love designing and don’t want to lose touch with the craft. At the same time, I think I’d be a great manager and am wondering if it’s a more sustainable path at my age.

As far as retirement planning, I’m saving everything I can and have done some real estate investing as well. Hoping to get to the point where working is optional by 50.

Cool thanks

Thanks so much! I’ll check it out.

Hi Designer News! I wrote this article because I've found that usability testing has helped me become a better designer in a variety of ways. Would love to hear what you think :)

I totally agree. Fast food adoption would be fantastic. It’s pretty much inevitable that this industry will change dramatically and soon if we hope to have a livable planet and feed the population. I think product replacement is going to drive this change as opposed to human behavior change...bc we know how much humans hate to change their behavior ;)

Let’s see how 2.0 is...

I’ve been following this company and others for a while now. plant based and ‘clean meat’ have the potential to disrupt a very unsustainable and cruel industry. I’m really excited about the potential impact. Seems like some of the biggest names in tech are too!

Where have you tried it? I’ve been looking forward to having one. Seems like a promising product to me.

Between this and iOS 11 headings, I’m falling into a deep depression. There’s only so much I can take.
