Is it Product Design Lead or Lead Product Designer?

Is there a difference or is it one of those things that depends on which country you in?

I’ll give you the consultant answer: it depends.
In my org, there is a difference:
- a Lead Designer is a career ladder step. One step above Senior Designers and meant to lead and organize segment products design (and designers)
- A Design Lead is a role in a team: is the most experienced and leader of the designers of a given product team.

The tricky part is that it may or may not be completely different from company to company 🤷🏻‍♂️

Interchangeable in the organisations where I’ve worked

Varies from company to company

Wow. In the movies right now and just saw two co-workers together. By looking at their face, you would have thought they've seen a ghost 😂. What's wierd is the office thinks they hate each other.

I’m so tired of the fun getting sucked out design via overzealous feedback on legibility, golden ratios, and whatever new “rule” some design bro talked about in his money grab authoritarian keynote. Surely I’m not the only one who listens to their gut feelings? Sometimes ugly and wrong is interesting. Where did everyone’s imagination go?
