Digital Product Design
Deeply connected to the legacy of architecture, design in the tech industry has claimed its seat as a digital architect. Alongside this shift arises the urge for much broader education, greater collaboration and emotional intelligence. We tend to refer to Apple when chit-chatting Design, but the same evolution happens at other giants too. While design agencies of all sizes seem to go through hell, big companies pretend to be the new harbour for the creative capital. Their in-house design teams being responsible ‘to design’ and for ‘the Design’. But who said
designers make great architects? Learn about the digital product design process, why you shouldn’t title yourself UX Designer and why unicorns don’t exist!
