At Cockroach Labs, the role of a product designer is multifaceted, encompassing research, facilitation, and translation to ensure effective product development and communication. The design team, recently expanded, addresses the diverse responsibilities of product design, which vary significantly based on the company and individual. Product designers at Cockroach Labs not only engage in traditional design tasks but also take on research duties due to the absence of dedicated researchers, conducting user feedback sessions to inform product improvements. They act as facilitators by coordinating meetings to align stakeholders on project goals and employing design thinking to foster team creativity. Additionally, product designers serve as translators, transforming complex product requirements into accessible visual formats that convey the intended message to new audiences. These roles collectively contribute to the ongoing evolution and refinement of the product design process at Cockroach Labs, underscoring the importance of adaptable skills and team collaboration in a growing startup environment.
