“We don’t hire designers who can’t code.”
March 27/2012 Roger Davis
Recently I had a chance to watch the video of a talk given by Jonathan Berger, given at the recently concluded Agile UX NYC 2012 Conference. In his talk, Jonathan made reference to a designer who boldly claimed: “We don’t hire designers who can’t code.” This statement got me thinking about my own personal experience as a designer within the Jamaican market who’s been forced to learn to code because no one would hire me as a web designer if I couldn’t also develop the user interfaces of these websites using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
