Re:Ask HN: What do you think about the no-code movement? on Thursday November 11, 2021 @02:10PM (#29191810)
I feel you.

I freelanced designing and building websites in the '00s before gradually migrating into in-house creative direction and product design. After getting burned out doing that, I've tried to start a little solo web and brand shop again, which sounds fun on paper, but I can't find a market for it. People just want inexpensive Squarespace editors. They look to Fiverr, Upwork, etc.

It reminds me of the Wordpress-only shops that drove me to in-house/product design in the first place, but with even less custom work being done.

It's a loss for web as a creative platform, and has left me unsure of how to proceed professionally.

Never quite sure how to classify my stuff, but I'll call it digital hardcore/industrial/noise music.

I'm a multidisciplinary designer with about a decade of experience. Before freelancing, I led creative and product design at a few different startups. I've designed custom ecommerce platforms, sales/analytics dashboards, a CRM, a shoppable chat app, a WYSIWYG site builder, countless marketing and business websites, and plenty more.

I like building robust design systems to solve complex problems simply and efficiently.

I'm a multidisciplinary designer looking for an in-house gig after years of freelancing. Before freelancing, I led creative and product design at a few different startups. I've designed custom ecommerce platforms, sales/analytics dashboards, a CRM, a shoppable chat app, a WYSIWYG site builder, countless marketing and business websites, and plenty more.

I like building robust design systems to solve complex problems simply and efficiently. I have managed teams, but am presently more interested in a senior contributor position than a managerial one.
