Hey there!
I have been a web designer and front-end developer for the past 13 years, and I can say this: keep learning both as long as you find them interesting.

I've worked in many companies on both roles, but the combined value of both helped me highlight in those teams. The reason I found is that specialized teams avoid at all cost doing the other areas jobs, and it makes sense as they are not being paid to do the other guys job.

The problem, is that when combined projects needs to be done, they become very loose trying to find the best solution that combine both sides, because no one has the picture from the other side.

In my experience, understanding exactly how the front-end works will allow you to get better solutions for your UI designs and prototypes.
