CRITICAL UX Skills To Master ASAP, No “Learn Figma” BS (from a Google Sr UXD) How to Get a Job 2025

UX Design is not dying in 2025 but it IS changing. In this video I share the top 3 critical UX skills and growth areas to master ASAP, not the cliche "learn Figma" tips. These are high demand skills to help you get a job and stand out from 99% of designers in the job market. These are areas I'm actively learning about and applying to my day job as the GenAI Lead for the Play Store, not the typical regurgitated advice you usually find on YouTube.

Hey Ricardo, I have been wanting to learn ui/ux design since early 2024 but i didn't due to personal problems. Now I can learn it and have the time but the job market is stopping me, making me rethink. I'm in India and I'm not a design or cs or tech grad. So would really love to hear your thoughts on this.

Hello, do you provide a portfolio feedback?

[aishwaryabhosekar]

hey Ricardo, been following you for quite some time now. Currently, I'm working as an architect in India and also learning about UX design during my free time. Given the current job market, I'm a little confused on whether or not it'll be a good idea to even invest my time into learning this. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Much love <3
