Yours truly,

In year 2 of my design career, I actually stepped away to focus on learning sales and held two sales roles in silicon valley for a year. 6 months each. Learning how to close deals and learn more about business has helped me turn business logic into UI and UX features. It has also helped me uncover better insights through research. If you understand the business you will make much more money in UX IMO. Everyone should try to learn some sales
100% Nick!! I'm glad you've been able to understand the true value of being a Product & UX Designer ⚡️ Keep killing it!
I just love the way explain every topic and make us laugh. I never felt bored. Thank you for the insights.
Thank you!! Really happy to hear.
your videos have so many value ! thank you, i’m a student and i know nothing about all that but now it’s more clear !
Excellent explanation. Thank you!
Best comparison video I've found :)
Nice video, friend! very enlightening
Very true,I'm amazed by how many tech people don't know the difference between the two
Really appreciate that my friend
I apologize for the terrible handwriting 😂 I'm getting use to my new Wacom Pro tablet!
Ooohh look at you and fancy tablet, lol.🙂
@@GraveRave Haha! It's so I can annotate more effectively for the new course material 😉 Students need the best delivery methods!
I was just thinking how tidy it looked! Says alot about my own😜As always great video MIzko. I still can't sign up for that Figma Course it must be my Bermuda Bank Account. My card got frozen. I'll park it for now and get back to it another day.
Mizko, you might want to change User Testing to Usability Testing. Whenever you test prototypes, you're testing the usability of the prototype or existing product with users, not the user themselves.
I am loving all your content! Maybe that is way too basic. But could you make a video about saving proyect files? I find it quite confusing beteween the desktop versión and the browser version. Thanks for you amazing videos!!!
Learned something new, here I thought that product designer was just a fancy term for UI designer. Nice one 👍🏾
Glad to hear man! Once you understand how a business operates, you’ll gain a much better idea of how responsibilities are delegated 🙏🏼
Amazing
this is the most simplistic yet informative breakdown i've come across. thank you for making it so easy for all of us to understand :)
Thank you Hamy! I'm glad it all made sense :)
Please tell me how helpful is cybersecurity in product management/design or even UX Design since I want to change career from cybersecurity to Product design/manager
ahh dude thank you
Please tell that in which company can i get job as an Ui/Ux designer please tell
this video came at the perfect time, i was just wondering abt ux vs product and found this video released one hour ago
Ha! It’s a very common question. I had to answer it, because a lot of people don’t break it down clearly
The differences you outline between UX Designer vs Product Designer are not accurate. Most companies use these terms interchangeably. The only real difference is sometimes when companies produce a physical product, product designers are involved with the physical design of the device. In these cases, they aren't using Product Designer the same way you are either.
If you look at job descriptions you won't find any meaningful differences (except the case I mentioned above). If you talk to people who have UX titles vs Product Design titles you won't find any meaningful differences. If you look at the work of either of people claiming one or the other title you won't find a meaningful difference. Most companies have just picked one or the other to call their UX designers.
they are accurate in a larger companies where each roles are more defined. in smaller companies, one designer will wear multiple hats (ux, marketing, sales, customer service), therefore product/ux designer is interchangeably. but if you go to google or any large companies, these 2 roles are completely separate and product designers are usually in higher level.
I've been confused by these two titles for long. Thank you for explaining them with an easy understandable real-world example!!
His explanation is inaccurate. Basically everything he has in the Product Designer column actually belongs in the UX column as well. At least in the real world, companies are using these terms interchangeably. Every so many years UX design likes to give itself a new name, it used to be called Interaction design.
@@emersiveno bro, you're wrong. Some companies may confuse these names in the real world unfortunately, but in theory these two roles are pretty well defined and different amongst each other.
@@AFMCarlos I'm reposting a comment I made a year ago somewhere else in this thread.
This isn't accurate either (yes bigger companies have more specialization, but not in the way you are suggesting), what you will see sometimes at large companies is that sometimes there is a lack of consistency titling across different departments, business units, hiring managers, etc. Take Amazon for example you find Product Designers and UX Designer postings, and if you dive into them you'll find there are no real differences in the content of the descriptions unless it is a mechanical engineering/device design posting (also called Product Designers). If you look at Google design jobs, you'll see that yes there is specialization, but it isn't between product designers and UX designers. It is UX qualitative researchers, UX quantitative researchers, visual designers, interaction designers, UX Writers, etc You won't find product design jobs, does that mean that no one does product design as Mizko has defined it at Google? No! If you look at Meta they call everything product designer except for researchers, which they have kept UX in that one title. If you look at Meta's product design job descriptions there is nothing different in the job descriptions if you compare them to Amazon or Google UX job postings. In fact, some of Meta Product Design postings have (UX) included in the title just to help anyone who might be confused about what the job actually is.
If you don't trust me go ahead and look for yourself, but look at the actual job descriptions and listings, I just did.
The way that companies with established design career paths separate those who have different scopes and capabilities is often done with levels (Junior, Mid, Senior, Staff, Principal) and specialization (again not product designers vs UX designers, rather visual design vs UX Research, etc).
The name of the job that UX designers do has changed several times over the years. Personally, I don't have a strong opinion about what the industry should label this job. I've seen arguments that could sway me personally to either side, frankly, I don't know how much it even matters. I also agree that Product Design as Mizko defined is what every titled UX designer or titled Product designer (minus the product designers that are designing devices) should consider their job. Sometimes designers of either title put themselves into too much of a box either of their own making or their organization's.
My guess is that you haven't been designing for more than five years, mostly likely closer to three. The bottom line is that anyone good UX designer worth their weight and actually doing the job right has been all of the things that Mizko says is a product design job. The reality is some companies and designers haven't fully grasped their responsibilities and means to contribute.
