What is a T-shape Designer?
A T-shape designer is a professional with a blend of deep expertise in a specific area (represented by the vertical bar of the “T”) and broad, generalist skills across multiple areas (represented by the horizontal bar). This combination allows T-Shape Designers to excel in their specialization while also contributing to various aspects of the design process.
For instance, a T-shape designer might have deep expertise in visual design (e.g, typography, color theory) but also possess skills in UX research, coding, and project management. This versatility makes them valuable team members who can collaborate across disciplines, adapt to different challenges, and bring a holistic perspective to problem-solving.
