YOUR UX TEAM IS SET UP FOR THE WRONG JOB

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Everyone across an organization is now designing using AI tools, which means UX teams need to shift roles rather than absorb more direct production work. Instead of routing all design through a small team, successful organizations move designers upstream to build design systems, playbooks, research repositories, and AI-briefing standards that guide everyone else's output. Cutting design teams to cut costs saves money short-term but creates inconsistency, accessibility issues, and rework, so success should be measured by adoption of these resources rather than throughput.
