Exercise #1

The Modern Product Design Ecosystem

As digital software grew in complexity, the generic title of 'Web Designer' splintered into specialized disciplines:

Modern product development operates across four core design pillars:

User Experience (UX) Architecture: Strategy, behavioral psychology, and task flows.
User Interface (UI) & Visual Design: Sensory polish, typography, and brand identity.
User Research (UXR): Empirical inquiry, user testing, and behavioral data.
Design Engineering: Bridging design tokens, code components, and engineering handoff.
