UX Designer · Task Exposure Map
Figma AI, v0, and Galileo produce low-stakes wireframes at growing speed; pure visual-design roles are contracting while design-engineering scope expands. What survives is high-fidelity user research, accessibility judgment under stakes, and the design-system architecture decisions a model has no organisational standing to make.
AI-driven UI mockup tools (Figma AI, Vercel v0, Galileo) are demonstrably producing low-stakes wireframes and component layouts at growing speed; design-system token automation is now table-stakes.
Design-tool vendors (Figma, Sketch, Webflow) are shipping native AI features that compress entry-level production work.
High-fidelity user research, accessibility judgment under stakes, design-system architecture decisions, persona-driven information architecture, and stakeholder-deck design remain weakly automatable.
Signals quoted verbatim from Career Runway’s career-moves rubric (V11.1). Each references peer-reviewed research, independent benchmarks, or large-N labour-market data — see citations on each move below.
⚠ Placeholder · Sample brief — confidence band shown is a representative midpoint, not an evidence-grounded computation. Take the assessment for a calibrated number.
Verbatim from the career-moves rubric. Each move ships an observable artefact — not self-report.
Move 1 · Defensibility
Why it works · WCAG / ADA accountability is regulated and audit-trailed; named-human ownership is required.
Time budget
3h / week
Prerequisites
accessibility-testing tooling, legal partnership
Verifiable artefact
quarterly accessibility audit reports signed and dated, defect-tracking ledger with closure rate, certified audit log.
Citation: O*NET 4.A.2.a.2 (Evaluating Information to Determine Compliance with Standards)
Move 2 · Defensibility
Why it works · proprietary qualitative corpus that compounds; the synthesis memo is what product decisions cite.
Sample data, not a real user. The tracking layer in the product follows actual move-completion artefacts and recomputes defensibility from observed signals.
Maya completed Move 1 — “Become the team's accessibility-compliance owner with audit cadence” — over 6 weeks. Tracking-layer artefact recorded: quarterly accessibility audit reports signed and dated, defect-tracking ledger with closure rate, certified audit log.
Sample numbers. Real movement is computed from your task map + verified move artefacts when you complete an assessment.
This sample is the archetype for a ux designer. Your specific tooling, environment, and tenure produce a different Task Exposure Map — and a different ordered list of moves. About 10 minutes, free, no card.
Time budget
5h / week
Prerequisites
scheduling discipline, recruited participant pool
Verifiable artefact
weekly recorded interviews in a shared archive, monthly synthesis memo, ≥3 product decisions per quarter explicitly citing research findings.
Citation: O*NET 4.A.4.a.2 (Communicating with People Outside the Organization)
Move 3 · Defensibility
Why it works · design-system ownership is a years-long moat; the evolution log makes you the indispensable shepherd of platform consistency.
Time budget
5h / week
Prerequisites
existing design system, engineering partnership
Verifiable artefact
design system in version control with ≥20 components, monthly evolution-log entries, adoption-rate dashboard with named owner.
