I'm not sure what it is, but something about the colour palette used in the examples shown feels a bit off to my untrained eyes. Is there actually a job market for pure UI designers? I often see UI as only a small part of job description that involves other non-art-related technical skills. It feels like the market is already saturated with people who can do UI design and a lot more (or the other way around for that matter). I am glad that the author managed to find internship as a UI designer and I'm aware that the author plans "to extend into UX", but the emphasis on UI design as a career change for "traditional" artists sounds... dangerous. Edit: removed confusing parenthetical. |

"UI designer" as a job title basically means you as a designer have clear area of responsibility; the user interface. You find these role in larger companies because when you reach a certain scale you need to build design systems, digital and/or print style guides, asset frameworks, micro animations, etc.
Startups typically hire hybrid designers with a mix of UI and UX skills. In Scandinavia these roles are often called "UI/UX designers" and in US, where the design culture is more mature, it's sometimes called a "Product designer" and has a different set of responsibilities.
So the short answer is 'yes' but it depends on a lot of things like the size, maturity, and design org. within the company.
