Super IC” (short for “Super Individual Contributor”) is about to be the next big buzzword in design, UI, and product teams—and this will be the hub for all things Super IC. For years, design orgs split into two lanes: you either climbed into management or stayed a specialist. But modern teams are leaning on a new breed of talent: highly-skilled designers who skip the management ladder and instead operate at a senior, almost director-level, without the people-management baggage.Here, we’ll cover every angle of the Super IC movement—tools, workflows, career paths, portfolio trends, hiring strategies, even pay transparency. In UI and product design, a Super IC is the one who can take a loose vision and run the entire arc—from user flows to micro-interactions—without layers of approvals. They’ve got the taste of a creative director, the technical chops of a front-end partner, and the strategic sense to see how design decisions ripple across the business.As product cycles get tighter and budgets slimmer, this role becomes essential. This hub will be the go-to place for case studies, thought leadership, and community around the Super IC—cementing it as the term defining the future of high-level design work.
