Overview
Product Design involves the technical creation of user-centered designs that translate ideas into functional, visually appealing, and intuitive products. From a development standpoint, it focuses on crafting wireframes, prototypes, and UI/UX specifications, integrating user feedback and business goals into the design process. Developers and designers collaborate to optimize for usability, accessibility, and cross-platform consistency, leveraging design systems and tools to streamline workflows.
