Understand how designing a technology product in a startup environment is markedly different from product design at established companies. This book teaches product designers how to think and frame problems in the dynamic context of startups. You will discover how to enhance your soft skills that are often not taught, but are crucial to your success.
In the emerging field of design for technology products, there are many books and resources covering the hard skills—such as visual design, interface design, prototyping, and motion design. These skills are necessary to design work; however, without an understanding of the true potential of design and the skills required to unleash that potential in a startup setting, the impact of design may remain at a production level and not reach a position where it can positively impact product strategy and the business bottom line. Hacking Product Design addresses that gap in knowledge.
What You’ll Learn:
Learn how a designer should think, frame a problem, and set the tone of a product in the highly dynamic context of a startup
Create your own unique toolkit by bridging the gap between the hard skills of product design and the soft skills of the startup culture
Get insight into how a successful product is developed and designed in the fast-paced and precarious environment of a startup
