Product Designer
Product Designer designs products, builds websites, creates marketing assets. They help to speed up product development, product adoption and growth, while provoking emotion and helping users to achieve their goals.
Previously designers used to be divided on UI/UX designers, marketing designers and motion designers but not anymore. Tools progressed, web became standardised and AI now helps to create starter layouts fast and even build prototypes. Today best designers expected to cover the full process of product development and marketing.
