About the Product Design Team:
One of the principles of our design team is to ‘Simplify & Unify’. As designers, our job is to visually create and communicate the future vision of the company. Simplifying creates understanding, and unifying makes the product relatable. A big part of the role of a product designer at ThisApp is to be a visionary.
Product designers at ThisApp take the dream and create a tangible product that everyone can relate to and rally behind. We start from the very early stages: finding the right problem to tackle, exploring ideas for how to solve it, and then refining it into a coherent solution. Our product designers carry out research, brainstorming, sketching, prototyping, and collaboration with our engineers to ship great products. We are empathetic user advocates and respect our users’ opinions through interviews, usability testing, and data analysis, as well as wireframing, flowcharting, and journey mapping to show the different stages that customers go through as they come into contact with ThisApp.
