Design

The concept of "shape-typed" product designers is an interesting one, but it's not a widely used term in the industry.

T-Shaped Designers:  These designers have a broad understanding of the entire product design process (research, ideation, prototyping, testing) with a deeper expertise in one specific area like UX/UI, visual design, or interaction design. This versatility allows them to collaborate effectively across teams

I-Shaped Designers: These designers excel in a very specific area of product design, like interaction design or user research. They possess deep knowledge and expertise within their chosen field. While valuable, they might require more collaboration with other specialists for a well-rounded design process.
