I'm a Product Designer, and learn to think like an entrepreneur
Aspirations
Establish a symbiotic relationship to cover the details and the vision. Brushing up business acumen, I'd set project okr, roadmap, build customer relationship. Care about team synergy and trust. Bond the team stronger.
Mentorship
Working with many smart people, shedding my “designer ego,” can be invaluable when I'm forging my own way.
I take different opinions from other teams; ingest; analyse pro and cons; then find a best solution. When people giving advices, it is a way to learn.
Entrepreneur mindset
Knowing business goal and being product savvy can reap big benefits when pitching UX ideas. Pitch designs with coherent arguments that align with company objectives. Show the positive impact, with attainable measurements.
