(Haha, found another old post of mine on LinkedIn. Back in the days, I like to write those Twitter-style posts there. Anyway, I still think the content is relevant today in this world where a lot of emphasis is placed on skills and AI fluency.)

Some important traits of a product designer coincide with the traits of a good person:

• Humble

• Generous

• Open-minded

Why?

• Being humble leads to active listening.

• Being generous leads to building trust.

• Being open-minded leads to continuous learning.

They are instrumental to a career that puts users first at its core.

It’s almost impossible for a product designer with a big ego to create a real user-centered design.
