You're accurate. I'm the only product designer at the tech company where I work on and I do all the things you mention :) Basically, product design is finding the balance between the user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility. Keep the great content!

I'm a recruiter. I have staffed Product Managers, but today am faced with my first Product Designer. I got such wonderful info from your presentation AND keywords which will help me narrow down my search and engage in relevant conversations. Thanks so much.

My guy is on point. Been a designer going on 8 years. The only thing I would mention is that all product design roles are not created equal. Company culture can influence what our jobs entail. Eg: not all companies value research or user testing. So you may actually just be a UI designer working on mocks. Sad reality but a common issue. Still an amazing career no doubt. Choose your company wisely.

Yeah! you're so accurate with this description. Finally, I get a good explanation for my colleagues

Thank you for making a video that is literal. Had to sift through so many others that spoke abstractly about what a product designer is and does. I've worked in designed for 15 years. I don't need to hear someone talk about how you have to be empathetic and a good listener etc. People need to know WHAT IS THE JOB. Thanks.

I study product-market fit and direct strategic visions. Spent six years in marketing as a creative. This last year, I've been learning product design and design systems.

I would add, if you are a good product designer, you might also want to learn about the Product Manager role as it can be a good pivot in your career. Even if you don't want to go that direction, understanding the Product Manager role will definitely help you as a designer. Great content! Thank you.

Thank you so much for such a to the point video. truly appreciate your efforts .

Thank you very much for making these videos ❤

Thanks man I swear. Heavy demand in my area of Toronto. This maximizes my skills. Am a jump in

This video is so helpful, and easy to understand!

I have spent hours seen other videos explanations and there were very long and confuse. THANK YOU for doing this.

As a product deisnger i find my job mostly about communicating with client, product manager, users and engineers to make sure things are being shipped as intended by design.

Thanks for your video man, it was really helpful❤️

Thank you for understanding all of this.

I'm proud to be a part of this amazing Industry 🥰

I’m a beginner and I’ve been trying to figure product designing out. Thanks for explaining in such a simple way

thank you from Algeria

Thanks for the video. I am from Brazil, here there is not much information about product design, before entering college I am researching more about the course, and this video helped me. thanks

Felt like listening to a friend talking. Great video and really good information.

Thank you for the info! Very easy to follow!

I've been working as Product Designer for 3 years and still love this kind of content to remind me what is my job haha. thank you sir! good content!

Thank you for this explanation.

Thanks for your explanatory answer 👍🏾👍🏾

Great video, and soooo easy to understand and I am not even in the development world! Thanks! Subscribed too!

This was very useful. Thanks for the video.

This piece of information was really amazing and was really useful to gain more insights for a product designer

This was phenomenal. Right on point!

Really what you said can be seen in your videos also 🔥🙌🙏💯🤝 good user interface Sir 😄💯

Awesome video! Thank you for that 👍

thank you for your video. Now I am clear to classify those jobs (UX, UI, Product designer etc). I have a question for you that here South Korea, Planner (so to speak) does wireframe and create storyboard for website or App. They are not designers or coders. How do you think about this? I know there could be variety of job situation but we have a very unique circumstance. In short, Product manager or Service planning manager does product designers' roles. How do you think about this? It will be very appreciated if you leave a comment anytime. Thanks.

Hey Alvin, thanks for the video, it was very well explained. I'm coming from a software dev background and now getting more into product design. I'm currently wondering, where the typical responsibilities of a product manager end and where those of a product designer start. I'm specifically thinking about user research. Are both roles responsible for that just with a different research question (what are your biggest pain points vs. how can your pain points be solved most effectively)? I mean, this is probably different from organization to organization, but I'd just be curious in your thoughts about that.

Excellent video. Thank you

Thank you very much for this video it was very helpful 😌

Thank you!

Thank you for this video! :)

Properly explained👌🏼

well said, thanks man

Hi Thanks for this video. I want to get a thorough training on this, cos your explanation here makes it obvious to me that it's a semi-complex knowledge. I need your mentorship roadmap on how to get this knowledge without cutting corners. Thank you

Fantastic

thanks, very clear class , this profession causes me a great confusion on his roles , are less now

Harus banyak belajar dari designer perantau nih

Good video. It's worth noting customers don't always equate to users.

Best definition for design systems!

Thanks

Awesome

great explanation

Very nice video. I would like some advice please. I have just graduated as product designer but im finding it difficult to approach a company? Which style portfolio is better? Printed or online?

Very Nice Sir 🙏 Love From India ❤️

👍 This was explained in the most simple way. But I did like to ask, I did not get the name of the frame you made mention of. Is it wild, while or why frames?

Being in the field of UX for the last 20 years... I would describe the role of a UX with that same description. A UX that does not consider business requirements, customer wishes and flow of interactions isn't real UX to me... the UI layer needs to be considered as well and looked at in collaboration with the UI to get the best experience.

*Since childhood I have been trying to optimise designs of everything as hobby but I don't think I have professional knowledge to get job unfortunately.*

I'm looking into a career change and want to get into this field. I've seen sites where they say to look into graphic design first and work your way up to product designer. Is that something you'd agree with?

I'm starting my first product designer job in two weeks. So this video helps. Thanks

What would you recommend to study to follow Product design? I had only found universities/colleges offering Industrial design as the closest thing to product design

I am a product designer base in Indonesia, my experience collaboration work to another field such as; engineering, industrial, business, and recentlt architecture, fristly, not all of them what exactly design is? As asimple design problem solving, industrial desiger just like an Archite to create a think more than aestetich but understand everithink around design, at least I receive my first paten for a medical equipment....

Hi. Everything you've discussed in the video is about digital stuff. But What do we call a designer who is associated with the design of an actual physical product. Say for example, the "anglepoise lamp" was designed by George Carwardine. Aren't they also product designers? Or is there any other specific term to refer them?. I'm just asking this because. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and I'm new to the realm of design. I like to move towards a career in design, but not the digital stuffs like software or webpages but actual physical products.

good video mate

What skills, interests or talents do you need to be a product designer?

ı don't understand yet. You explained the tasks exactly the same as UX, right ? what did i miss :)

Please put me through on how to become master in product design

Thank you very much, so what would I study in college? Would it be engineering or Art as there is no option to do product design in college but there is for university

How can a graphic designer use marketing concept in designing products and services? Please, make a lacture on it. If it's not possible to make the lacture please briefly answer on this question . please

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help meeee. So i was thinking about studying industrial design but after spending some time on KZfaq apparently most product designers have a background in cs. Isn't industrial design a good path to product??

do ux/ui designers mainly design digital products?

Hi, so i wanted a help from u i am a BCA graduate and i really wanted to take my masters in product design and also wanted to pursue it in UK. As of my counselor since i am opting for a change of field i might not get admission for this specific course as the universities have a requirement, Also she says that finding a product design related job will be very hard and risky because if i dont find a course related job within a year my visa will be over and i have to come back. So in a very confusing place right now can someone give me some advice.

Now please dont call it just product design. its digital product design, web / app / communication or graphics design. Product design is a term used for physical product designers. And industrial design is for designers on the fence to be engineers while design engineering is the other way around. Sometimes it is good to use specific terms when referring to specific tasks. But on the other hand you wouldnt have to make this video if all designers would use their correct job descriptions .. sooo 🤷‍♂️

This guy is one of those rare people i personally know who naturally whistle as they speak. I used to think it's cool because the pronunciation sounded mature, but now it kinda tickles my ears lol, no offense. This is my gateway video to product design and thanks for that!

Hello, I am a design release engineer. I have two engineering degrees. I think I want to try to get into product design but I feel like I dont have the skillset yet. Any tips on breaking into the sphere? I am thinking of starting with some kind of UX project manager role so that I can get exposure without actually doing it. Also saw a UX class on Udacity but I dont know how it compares to other options. Thanks, I made sure to drop a like!

Ga buka kantor di indo bg?

If product designers can do so many things, why in most corporations they still hiring product managers?

Bro u should change your mic

Are you indonesian?

I might sound racist but this guy has an uncanny resemblance to bd Wong (Dr Hugo strange from Gotham)

Sorry to disagree, but this really is not correct. I feel this is a far better representation of the differences. Product Design = Physical products. Product designers are responsible for designing and developing the majority of the consumer products that people use in their everyday lives. All industries that manufacture consumer products employ product designers. For example, product designers work in electronics, furniture design, general manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, and many other fields. More specialized fields include medical technology and telecommunications device manufacturing. While many product designers work to meet consumer needs with completely new products, many of the product designers' job responsibilities involve improving existing designs. Design improvement may be needed for a variety of reasons, such as improvement of functionality, improvement of appearance, and manufacturing cost reductions. Often, product designers work as members of multidisciplinary teams that include engineers, prototype fabricators, executive sales staff members, marketing and advertising team members, and others. As part of the design process, product designers employ a variety of technologies, including computer assisted design (CAD), drawings and blueprints, and 3D modelling. Product designers must have working knowledge of these technologies, as well as manufacturing methods, available materials, and budgetary and time considerations. Product designers usually work full time in an office environment. They may be freelance workers who contract with companies or full-time employees. In addition to working in offices, product designers make frequent use of workshops, studios, and even factory space to aid the design process. Additional responsibilities include meeting with customers or co-workers to discuss designs and commercial needs, working as part of the design team, learning about new manufacturing technologies and materials, researching products and how to improve them, producing models or drawings, and working with engineers to produce prototypes. Most employers require their product designers to hold a bachelor’s degree in a related field, and relevant work experience is generally preferred. UX/UI = Software. User interface designers are members of a software development team. They are responsible for creating and arranging the elements of a software’s user interface (the part of the program that the end-user will see and interact with). A user interface designer is sometimes hired under other names as well, such as user experience (or UX for short) designer and user interaction designer. Regardless of what they may be called by a given organization, the duties and requirements remain largely the same, though specific competencies (such as programming languages and knowledge of certain software packages) may vary by company. Like most employees in the software industry, their work is almost entirely mental and usually takes place in an office environment. They are generally employed on a full-time basis, though significant overtime may be required on occasion, especially when due dates are approaching. User interface designers are expected to understand the entire software development life cycle and be excellent programmers. As such, they are generally expected to hold bachelor’s degrees in a relevant field such as human-computer interaction, though graphic design or information technology-related degrees are also sometimes acceptable. Other required proficiencies, such as the ability to code in CSS, Java, or C#, will be determined by the hiring company. For example, an user interface designer working for a large web-based operation would likely be expected to be fluent in various web-based programming languages, while a designer working for a small video game start-up might need to be familiar with various physics engines and flash-based programming.

☠️BLACK BARON☠️ "Feeling" the material a product designer intends to build something. A "No Go" for product designers you can't "feel" materials. That's my opinion. More practice, less theory.

Human doesn't know what is needed, there was no need of 3 or 4 individuals in the user interface design sector. The sector only needs 2 individuals (UI designer with either UX or product design). Many things you said are done by the 4 of them, THEN WHY HAVING 4 POSITIONS!!! Beside the UI designer cause non of them can design, the UX and the product designer must be one person and the design system should be incorporate into UI design thats it

this is a user interface designer - UI. not a product designer. You guys keep calling yourselves the name belonging to another industry, which is ironic seeing this is supposed to be what you are good at.
