Hi Britney, thanks for reaching out. I agree that the article is a bit one sided, I wanted to share my own experience where the responsibility of UX was only placed with designers. I don’t want to devalue the work UX designers are doing, I mostly wanted to point out that one person shouldn’t be responsible for the UX, because it’s not just a design job. Especially in start-ups and smaller companies you have to be responsible for multiple aspects of the UX as you don’t have a large team to support you. The main reason why I wrote it the way I did was to be a bit controversial, because I feel like most teams don’t think about it enough. I’ve worked with multiple development teams that just implemented the design, where I much rather would’ve collaborated with them to get their ideas to create a great user experience.
