Nailed this. thank you. I was actually doing this for a while but not really knowing. a mix of all 3 but expecting all 3 in some shape or form for each project/product. I have help design component ideas for front end content teams, carousel ideas, log in and checkout experiences. There are parts that throw me then i realise i action other parts with out even thinking. Thanks for making clear easy dots point for people out there.
It's incredible the amount of videos that try to explain this difference and fail miserably. Kudos on the crystal clear answer, keep up the great work!
We appreciate it Cristian, thank you 🙏
Seems like u had a bad.. UX..

I thought exactly the same when i saw the video. 10/10
@@lookylooks3977nice lmao
Quick: ux/ui is more the visual/technical piece of a project, and product design is implementing those with the business pov/idenity focussed.
On point CozyWozy 🙏
It’s a complete video, that I was looking for information. Very helpful
As a Producr Designer, we also look after the vision of the project, making a roadmap how the product will evolve in a year or in next 5 years.
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Great breakdown of the differences between these three!
Thank you for such concise and clear distinction between these streams. Very insightful and helpful 😊
My pleasure @meenalbankoti !
Finally a video that explains the difference so clearly. Thanks!
Thank you Nayama🙏
Finally I get the difference! Thank you for a very clear and well paced explanation 👏
Thank you Anastasia ✨
Very clear and informative.... we need more videos like these.
Great and short description. Thank you
I desperately needed this video I couldn't find a clear and concise answer thank you for this!
🙏
This video is the most succinct and accurate description of the difference between UI/UX Design and Product Design I've ever encountered. Great job!
💙💙💙
his video simplifies the distinctions between UI Design, UX Design, and Product Design, offering clarity on the unique roles each plays in creating successful digital products. It highlights shared topics like design thinking, user research, and prototyping. This resource is valuable for aspiring designers and product professionals, helping bridge knowledge gaps. Kudos to Alvin for shedding light on these crucial aspects of the design and product development process! 🌟
Thank you 🙏 🙏
I am learning so much from watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing source of information. This one is quite helpful.
Great explanation! Thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks man you content and quality are insane.
Means a lot. Thank you Tyson!
This video was really educating as you treated every product position(UI/UX designer role and Product designer role) accordingly.... Thank you very much
Thanks heaps for the support 💙
I've had discussions about this with other designers who insist it's all the same. Someone I know who works in one of the FAANG companies told me they're transitioning to calling the UI/UX Design role Product Design instead. It's kind of a bummer that people don't use definitions in practice.
Great and nice!... to share your Experiences about UX/UI and Product design.
Amazing video, thanks for the help to finally understand the differences between areas.
Thanks for watching Lueine
Excellent job explaining that!
Absolutely spot on! There are so many misconceptions about the Product Designer role and the true meaning ends up being lost.
Thanks for the support Oleg!
Great info thanks. Just thinking out loud, If I could add to the UX side, UXers probably also tackle equitable/accessible design as big part of what they do.
Thank you. This is going to be a reminder for me to what my scope of work should include. Sometimes I just got lost.
Thank you Aria for watching. Tell us about it, we all get lost at times don’t we 😅
This video us aligned with my understanding as well 👍I would add that the Product designer should build more domain/industry knowledge about the product compared to the UI/UX role. And, they should have more ownership of their work and see it as a long-term commitment, not just a one-off design exercise
This is the best video that explains the differences
Thank you for the kind comments!
This was a great video! Well done
your channel is really great. keep up! thank you
Thank you Lucas!
thank you for the really great content very helpful for us beginners! i'm also curious to know then whatis the role of a Product Manager bec it seems that its quite close to the role of a Product Designer? How do they differ from each other. 😊 Appreciate it a lot!
you nailed it... was looking for a simpler explanations for people who don't know about Design ecosystem. great stuff.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative thanks for this
Distinct explanation ♥️
Thanks!
Thank you 💙💙💙 got it clear
Thanks for watching elijah
Thank you for making this video, It really made me understand the differences between them...since I have been struggling to understand It.💪🤲
That's great! Happy to hear that! :)
Thanks, man.
This is so helpful
Great video, I really think this channel could scale 🚀, thank you for the content.
I think the same. They have really good content and can explain a lot of digital products things without difficulty. Maybe they need to penetrate in USA and Latin America Audiences
Thank you all it’s very nice of you to say! Keeps us motivated 💪✨
Can you make a video about the difference between a Product Designer vs a Product Marketing Manager…. I’m debating which of the these two careers is best for me?
Thanks for clarifying and roles and responsibilities of different designations. This helps.
Have a question on what if the designer who is not good at UI and who is already doing the role of a product designer? Is it an advantage or not? Your thoughts plz
It is good to add maintainability(easy to maintain business rule changes) and reusability (how the product can use legacy product features)
this is so resourceful! thank you! also, can i know what app Alvin is using for his notes on the iPad?
Hi Kira! Thanks for the comments. He’s using Pro Create for the scribbles 😁
Not a fan of the writing while talking. But u have helped me get perspective
Thanks for making this video, I really appreciate. I'm thinking about heading into product design, I'm new to all of this tech stuff and I'd like any advice or help. Thank you
I have a question: as a senior/lead ui-ux designer I start the conversation with the client from the brief and then suggest best way to go, from prototypes approach for testing towards handover to devs, mentoring juniors, training people in accessibility and looking after the best process for the team-cross collaboration. So what would be the best title for it? It isn't head of design cause we don't have a big team but I am working with the client and other head of departments about best approach depending on the problem and the more efficient way to deliver. Is that Design ops even if it is design strategy? Or is it Design strategist (looking after client design management + ui/ux overview of process + design ops)? thanks
Thanks a lot for information ) What are the music on background playing?)
thanks a lot for this video. what ux/ui designers do is usually about digital products?
good content ❤
can you do a video on typical daily tasks for ux ui designers in their jobs , i have just done a course and not sure what will be expected of me when i get my role.. how are the tasks distributed etc
Hi, tysm for doing this video, I’m about to go to uni soon but I have been debating wether to do a graphic design course or a Digital Experience and Interaction Design, I actually am not so sure what exactly are the differences between the two, could you please help me?
thanks
When a company is hiring for a UI/UX Designer, I know they value Design very little. It's called "Interaction Designer" or "Product Designer".
A lot of the conversion, renvention, growth are usually handled by the marketing, growth, and CFO/CMO.
If we design machinery, such as robot (or three-wheel cart and so on), which will serve people deliver things either in indoor (such as in restaurant or hospital or hotel) or in outdoor (deliver things to consumer's house), what is it called?
Thanks for such important insight. I subbed immediately. If i may ask, Where(Sites) can i get free or affordable courses & certifications that are industry recognized both in the US & Internationally for Product Designer jobs?🙏🏽
how did you mix video and ipad drawing on one screen?
ILY your videos explanations you are very good at this ok? ok
Thanks Naira. Glad it helps!
Great content! Was wondering if you could do a video about Service Design vs CX Design(Customer Experience) Also, is the latter an emerging field with the likes of Amazon and Apple focusing plenty on customer base, retention and all that. A reply here is fine too, just wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Cheers :)
Hi Benjamin! Thanks for the great question, absolutely we will drop this idea into our content list and make a video for you.
In short, you can think of CX as the overarching category, that houses things like Product and Service design. Within their respective context, (ideally) products and services cross path, compliments each other and creates a seamless holistic experience for the customer. It’s meant to be human centred. It’s meant to be a great customer experience. And that’s a topic that a CX designer would be interested about.
CX is emerging, but so is Product Design, and Service Design. In some regions, even UX Design is still a topic that companies are only catching up on. So our advise would be for you to look at the available opportunities around you, and gauge what the market needs. Then relative to your strengths and skills, focus on that particular offering. It may well be Service, Product, UX, UI, or the big picture CX. One thing for sure, they all require Human Centred and Design Thinking mindsets.
Hope that helps Ben!
@@relabstudios Thank you for the detailed explanation, I appreciate it a whole lot! Definitely agree on the Human Centered and Design Thinking mindsets!
What's your advice for someone interested in product design
Just to clarify, does a product designer encompass all aspects of the product design such as the UI Design, UX Design, and UX Research & Marketing? And the other titles are like specializations within the field?
How should I start my journey knowing I am confused between Ux/Ui, interaction design and Preduct Design?
Hi.
Which program Is the best for you for create an object in 3d software?
Useful content... Appreciated. Also product design is more of functionality in terms of solving the main problem
Thank you for watching guys 👍
mangat bro
What would you say I major in for me Undergrad that’ll prepare me for this especially down the road as PO or PM. The VA is paying for my degree and I figured comp sci would be the way to go?
i was looking for ux ui roles , most of them ask for adobe creative suite knowledge , i am good with ui design tools but not with adobe suite.. when and what do you amazing ui designers use suite for ? whats are your main tasks ui designers do on suite ...thanks a lot ..
How about few more thoughts like in software world we have reusable code; in non software product world can we have reusable design (parts to be easily recyclable) and servicable ( fixable end user vs use and throw which is not environment friendly) this can help reduce electronic waste.
im still confused, so a product designer is like a UX designer with an MBA or economics degree?
whats the model of your glasses?
What masters degree should I get if I want to become a Digital Product Designer? Trying to figure out which credentials I should obtain
Hi!
What do u recon about switching from product management to product design without having ux/ui or web design background? How it can be possible?
Hi Jane, to be a product designer you will need to have UX and UI design skills or digital design skills. If you’re coming from product management background and keen to switch to product design, I suggest to self teach yourself the essential tools and also pick up free resources and short courses to get yourself up to scratch while building a portfolio.
We did a video about Product Manager vs Product Design to help you 😊
th-cam.com/video/r4zzn9i3oss/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AU4XzypEupssvRpi
and then what a service designer do, product designer seems similar to service designer?
Hi please what app are you using on the iPad?
Hi Tejj, in this video we were just using Pro Create
Great info provided but this could have just taken half the time to explain had it been edited correctly and if it didn't have us see you write out everything on your iPad
And, what's the difference between product design and industrial design? 🤔🤔
I want to know. I have recently finished a project I was working on and handed to developers to code. In the course, it started as an idea, I did a bit of research and also interviews with people I know will need the product. After, I used the research results to design all the UI's and also did prototyping using Adobe XD.
I am from a graphic design background and got into UI/UX after joining a company that had that department. I must say I have successfully designed couple of websites and Mobile app UIs but I am still confused as to what to calll myself. A graphic designer, Product designer? UI designer or what? Help me
Hi Adruma. Thank you for watching. First and foremost, you are a designer. A designer that solves problems for others. But if we talk about specifics, technically you can all yourself anything you want depending on what you’re producing. If it’s digital products, then you can narrow down your role to UI/UX, Digital Designer or Digital Product Designer… Then you can dive deeper into it and further clarify based on the topic of this video. I wouldn’t call myself graphic designer if I’m trying to specialise on digital. Because Graphic Designer is too broad and commonly associated with visual communication design, no matter what the medium is.
youre a tech bro
@@danielemego682 😂😂😂
is ux/ui design integrated in product design
by now we're just splitting hairs. practically all these topics are interchanged between experience designer and product designers. sure, UI is a separate sub-function. But in the end UX guys and product guys could basically be doing similar jobs. its just very confusing when people say these things. As young designers entering into the industry we really are unsure of what to call ourselves. in my opinion, a UX designer and product designers should be combined into just one role. UX design.
Do I need to become a UX designer first than a product designer? Can I become a UX researcher and then take a path to product designer?
12:27
(pesonal note for later)
If you combine the 3 categories, do you call them UX/UI Product designers?
What is it product designers don't do but UX designer do? It's seems most of product designer do is what ux designer do. Is it KPI related?
Visual design and Interaction design (IxD) like parts of UI....???? 🤔🤔
Yes front end interaction and visual design are part of User Interface Design
i heard ux and ui designers are both two different job roles too correct? I am little introverted so I was suggested to try UI instead of UX, since UX Is more for extroverts? Can UX/UI designer also do product design?
They answered /explained your first question in the middle in video. About the introvert part though, you can do either jobs. I'm introverted and majoring in UX design currently. You have to interact with people either way. I wouldn't recommend you to limit yourself to just UI and be more open to different opportunities. Every company is different. For the last question, yes. It's not hard to go from UI/UX to product design. You have to know UI/UX to be a product designer anyway
@@staciii thanks for your reply
WHat do you mean by Adoption?
From my experience, product designer and UX/UI designer are mostly just a naming thing. I would argue that in the industry, UXUI needs to consider business needs and goals as well. Without business requirements, UI is meaningless and we won’t get paid
Hi.🖐️🖐️
Product design has approuch only in digital products.???? 🤔🤔
The term “product design” can be articulated as digital product design especially these days. However it historically also means physical product design or industrial design
@@relabstudios 👍
what is the point of waiting for you to write on screen ?!
Thanks for the feedback!
Are you from indonesia?
Hi 👋 Petra, we are an Australian company but yes, Alvin is originally of an Indonesian background 😀
Ok, now i understand the difference between UI/UX Designer and Product Designer. But then i discover the existence of UX Architect role. What the difference between Product Designer and UX Architect? It really UX Architect role is a thing? Haha 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 maaaan! Just when I thought I finally got it…here comes UX architect
How one can be a UX designer and not think about business goals, product scalability and consistency? Quite $hitty one I guess?
the hand written part is really wasting time tbh
Thank you for the feedback Ash! We'll keep it in mind for future videos.
@@relabstudios I really liked it however, it was a good way of providing a summary of what was said. To each their own!
I personally liked the written part , it allows the person to talk through the thought process. If you just want the text ash then you can always forward the video
that marijuana
Sorry but I must say that your explanation doesn't convince me at all. First of all, UI is 100% part of UX, so when you say UX you should also implying UI. Therefore the Uxui code is something intrinsically wrong, as there should only be UX. As for the distinction between UX and product instead, well I think that all the tasks and responsibilities you listed for the Product designer are also within the UX designer domain. No more no less. In conclusion, there should be one term only, which is UX designer and that's it. If you're not convinced, let me ask you a question: have you ever seen the two roles living together in the same organization? No, because it wouldn't make sense to have a UX designer and a product designer and treat them differently. They are the same thing. Feel free to contest my thesis, I would love to hear someone who proves me wrong
