Amit Das Advocates Skills Beyond Software for Designers in AI Era
Amit Das's book, Beyond Tools: A Practical Guide for Designers to Become Irreplaceable, addresses the evolving role of designers in the AI era.

Instead, designers should develop skills like understanding users, identifying core problems, thinking creatively, making informed decisions, and effectively communicating. The book offers practical exercises to help designers apply these competencies in real projects, encouraging deeper user focus and professional judgment beyond technical execution.
