He shared his impressions of the unique cultural intersections of the first and third worlds in China in [The View From China](https://yes.goinvo.com/articles/the-digital-life-the-view-from-china). Following that, in [A Tour of Asia](https://yes.goinvo.com/articles/the-digital-life-a-tour-of-asia), he reflected on his experiences there including significant cultural differences, observations about the use of technology, and significant factors from an economic perspective.

The answer to this question depends very much on who and what you are. Say you’re a bootstrapped startup founded by experts in technical issues and sales. You should try to get free advice and help, or maybe trade some equity for UX design, or perhaps even rely on your own intuition until you can raise some capital.

Between these extremes lie many different models for deploying user experience appropriately.

Sparked by the [acquisition of Adaptive Path](http://www.wired.com/2014/10/adaptive-path-end-of-the-web-2-0-era/), the [closing of Smart Design in San Francisco](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3037630/smart-design-shutters-its-san-francisco-studio), and an [analysis by UX influential Peter Merholz](http://www.peterme.com/2014/10/24/san-francisco-design-agencies-feeling-the-squeeze/), the intelligentsia are hailing the decline of UX and design agency work in technology.
