Intel Senior UX Designer John Gladding shares an infographic highlighting social media accounts of several UX publications, including UX Magazine.

If you’re like me, you are constantly looking for the best social media accounts to follow for UX inspiration. Sometimes it’s as benign as a mindless thought, or it’s a link to a great new article published on a UX blog or magazine. Personally, I use Twitter the most for news and networking, while LinkedIn I use primarily when I am searching for my next job opportunity. Facebook can be useful for finding newly-published articles, however I can’t be assured I am always seeing them, as Facebook has curtailed publishing to all followers in efforts to keep content focused on close contacts. I use Instagram personally, but it’s mostly just browsing photos of friends and family.

This infographic was initially put together in early March 2016 – at time of publish, it is likely already be out of date. However the influencers in these spaces remain tight. I wanted to share out the top accounts for different platforms, so people can discover new sources of material. Sharing is caring!

It was fun putting together an infographic of the top UX social media accounts to follow. Through my research I discovered a slew of new accounts I had been familiar with, and even got me interested in podcasts, a medium which I once thought was quite dead (Thank you, Roman Mars). I no doubt missed some. Just before publishing, I found some significant accounts which I overlooked, and there are likely more. Please feel free to harass me via Twitter (@jgladding74) to tell me about the 200,000-follower account which I overlooked!

The Agile Trap Designers Fall into: Feeding the Beast
  • Agile teams are fast, but designers get stuck in an infinite loop of visual work: redesigning the same components over and over instead of solving real UX problems.
  • Design systems break that cycle, defining the building blocks once, freeing designers to focus on how the product works, not how it looks.
  • When the basics are in place, teams can start working together sooner, prototype faster, and release incremental features without the interface falling apart.

AI can create wireframes, synthesize research, and draft copy fast. What it can’t do: understand your users, carry context, or be accountable when something goes wrong. That’s still you.

AI Is Your New Intern, Not Your Replacement
  • AI is not replacing UX pros; it’s automating repetitive tasks and augmenting human capabilities.
  • Think of AI as an intern: quick, smart, but dependent on human direction, context, and judgment.
  • Human skills like empathy, research, systems thinking, and ethical decision-making are more important than ever.
  • The future belongs to designers who incorporate AI to accelerate execution and devote more time to strategic, human-centered work.

How the most intentional designers are working with AI — and why “vibe coding” really needs a better name.

Beyond Vibe Coding: A Designer’s Case for Directed Generation
  • The term “vibe coding” initially described an unstructured approach with minimal accountability, which doesn’t apply to professional design. It risks oversimplifying AI-assisted processes, ignoring the intentionality and expertise involved in high-level design. 
  • In practice, designers engage in “directed generation,” setting clear constraints, selecting references, and refining details. The AI model follows the designer’s guidance rather than taking initiative.
