Ukrainian people are among the many contributing authors, volunteers, and members of our team that have enabled UX Magazine to serve the community for 17 years.

We stand with our team members from Ukraine, and the people of Ukraine. If you want to help, here is a (growing) list of ways that you can help Ukrainian people through donations and/ or actions:

  • Calling all Designers! Designers United For Ukraine is collecting names of designers and businesses interested in helping and/or hiring displaced Ukrainian designers to reach safety and continue to work...

  • A special fundraising account was created by the National Bank of Ukraine specifically to support Ukraine’s Armed Forces – https://bit.ly/3BSQoyv

  • The International Rescue Comittee (founded by Albert Einstein) is rushing critical aid to displaced families as Russia invades Ukraine and civilians seek safety. Help them support families affected by the Ukraine crisis.

  • Therapysts for Ukraine – Ukrainians get four therapy sessions (usually 45-50 minutes) free of charge. Please note that most of them speak English, and not Ukrainian!

  • The Kyiv Independent is covering the conflict from within the conflict zone and is fundraising to continue coverage.

  • Voices of Children provides emergency psychological assistance to Ukrainian children impacted by the war.

  • Sunflower of Peace prepares first aid tactical backpacks for paramedics and doctors on the ground.

  • Vostok-SOS hotlines are helping people evacuate, and are providing humanitarian aid and psychosocial support.

  • Doctors Without Borders is equipping surgeons in eastern Ukraine with trauma care traiining and is providing emergency response activities in Poland, Moldova, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.

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.

Article by Jim Gulsen
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.
