Being a Junior++ Product Designer

Illustrating how junior++ skills slowly expand the skillset of the junior designer, thus putting them a little bit more in the senior designer domain over time.

I recently chanced upon Brian Lovin’s podcast episode on Senior++ Designer Expectations on “non-obvious paths to level up at work”. While the gap between a junior and a senior product designer is vague and huge at times (depending on where you’re applying to be a senior), it got me to think about how juniors could level up at work beyond their day-to-day deliverables, especially places with clearly-defined skill clusters.
