In an industry that increasingly values versatility, mastering adjacent skills like product thinking can elevate you from a tactical designer to an influential strategic force
I appreciate this kind of post, it makes me think there is an opportunity for my curiosity in the market. I'm a software engineer who loves the design process, and I always thought that one day, I would have to choose between being a designer or a mobile developer if I wanted to grow in the software industry.
I like to be involved in the entire life cycle of the creation of a new project, I feel like in a cage if I only see code or just Figma files in my everyday.

Thanks for sharing your story Victor!
My favorite allies as a designer have always been engineers who aren’t shy about sharing their opinions and collaborating to bring ideas to life.
Your skillset will only get more valuable in the current market we’re in, so keep strengthening those superpowers!
