Product design is the process of creating new or altering existing products that offer solutions to a problem in a specific market. It is a multi-layered craft encompassing design, user experience, collaboration, and more. Product designers oversee the design process of a product from start to finish or the improvement of an existing product. They brainstorm solutions to current pain points, take input from stakeholders, act as a liaison between designers, engineers, and researchers, and help compose mock-ups through wireframes and prototypes.

If you are interested in learning product design, there are many online courses available. For example, Coursera offers a wide range of product design courses from top universities and industry experts. Udacity offers a free product design course that covers product validation, UI/UX practices, and Googles Design Sprint. edX also offers online courses in product design, covering subjects such as design thinking, the principles of manufacturing, and emerging technologies.

If you have a degree in product design or industrial design, you can pursue a career as a CAD technician, product designer, or industrial/product designer. You can also take a Masters degree in industrial or product design, or complete postgraduate study to specialize in a connected area, such as interior, graphic, or exhibition design.
