What Does a Senior Product Designer Do?
A senior product designer is someone who’s accountable for both the user interface and the user experience design. The user interface is what you see when you open a website or application. The user experience design which is your experience as a user to complete the task of that website or app. For example, if you were to try to purchase an item on a website that you’ve never been to before, how easy is it for you to find that product and check out.
Requirements for Becoming a Senior Product Designer?
In our Corporate Minority interview with senior product designer, Monet Rouse, she states that an advanced degree is not required to work in this field. Rather, being self-taught, or earning certifications from reputable programs is a respected substitute for higher education. However, a bachelor’s or master’s degree can be quite valuable when distinguishing yourself from other candidates when going for senior positions. Most senior product designers gain experience, by beginning their careers in lower positions, such as as assistants or interns. From there, they climb the corporate ladder and advance to higher positions.
