About
Designing products people use: research, flows, wireframes, visual design, prototypes. Entry is a design school programme, a bootcamp, or a self-taught portfolio and an internship at a startup or agency. The work is collaborative and iterative; you spend as much time talking to engineers and product managers as in the design tool. Mumbai and Bengaluru lead in the graph. Over time people become design leads or move into product and operations.
