Core competencies to look for:

• Product thinking
• Of all the skills of a product designer, this is the most nebulous and hard to define. Product thinking is the knack of knowing what users really want. It's the ability of the designer to think holistically about the product and the purpose it serves its users. It's the area where designers and PMs overlap the most. If you worked with a designer and thought: "are they a designer or PM?" then you've probably worked with someone that spikes in this area.
• Interaction design
• Interaction design is the ability to create user interfaces and their behaviors. It's a broad skill that requires understanding of psychology, human factors, technology and visual design.
• Visual design
• Visual design is the thing that most people think about when they hear "design". It's the stuff you see. Colors, layout, typography, space, iconography, photography etc. Visual design is the skill to arrange visual elements to aesthetically and effectively communicate ideas and solve problems.
• Prototyping
• Prototyping is the skill to bring static mocks to life to quickly make an idea real to team mates and users. Prototyping comes in various levels of fidelity (paper to code) and the best designers are able to use prototyping as a way to quickly explore a range of ideas.
• Technical chops
• As a product designer you need to understand the medium that you are designing for. You need to understand its capabilities and limitations to be able to effectively communicate with peers. It's required to design solutions that are feasible but also able to push what's possible by understanding where technology is moving.
• Process
• Design process is the ability to break down a project into manageable steps and be able to repeatedly create great solutions. It's the ability to separate user problems from solutions. It's the ability to organize work and rally others around it. For those of you who worked with Marin during the design sprint, you know what a designer that has a good design process looks like.
• User research
• User research is the skill to derive knowledge from users using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Often the focus for product designers are on qualitative methods like contextual interviews, concept testing and usability tests. Skills in quantitative methods like questionnaires, data analytics, split testing etc are a welcome bonus!
• Cross-functional collaboration
• The ability for a product designer to effectively work with their peers. Designers need to be able to collaborate with engineers and PMs to build products, but also with other functions like marketing, CS etc. This is important because everybody has opinions on design and the designer need to effectively navigate it, listening in and collecting feedback.
• Communication
• Communication is the skill to get a message across to an audience. Being an effective product designer in a team environment requires you to be able to communicate persuasively both verbally and in writing.
