Summary
End-to-end product design spanning UX (information architecture, interaction design) and UI (visual composition, typography, brand consistency), grounded in user research and validation. Distinct from pure Visual/Brand Design (no end-to-end product flow ownership) and from UX Research (which owns research methodology as a specialty rather than as one input among many to product decisions). Practitioners take product features from discovery through prototyping, high-fidelity design, and build collaboration.
