What is a product designer?
A product designer, as the name implies, is responsible for the design of a product, be that physical or digital. Given that UX Gigs is focused on the digital design space, we'll focus on digital product designers.
From a digital perspective, a product designer will be responsible for the design and experience of digital products. This includes Software as a Service (SaaS), apps and internal software tools.
A product designer is often involved in all areas of the design process. Be that generating early ideas, creating wireframes and prototypes, running user research sessions and testing, or crafting high-fidelity UI designs.
A product designer's goal is to create a successful product. One that provides an amazing experience for the user whilst also meeting commercial goals.
What's the difference between a product designer and a UX designer?
There are many similarities between product and UX design. Both roles involve understanding the user, creating wireframes and prototypes and testing ideas.
One big difference between the two is their priorities. A product designer is responsible for creating a successful product from a design perspective. This means considering user needs and the user experience (both critical for a successful product) but balancing that with commercial goals.
A UX designer is responsible for the user experience and addressing their needs. The reality is that speaking from personal experience, a UX designer will still need to be aware of commercial goals and limitations even if it isn't their main focus.
Some companies will also separate UX design, UI design and User Research disciplines. In this case, the UX designer won't be involved in designing the user interface or conducting user research and instead will focus on ideas, user flows and generating wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes.
