Product design was hijacked by UX/UI to make them sound more understandable for non-design people and business rep ))

[pauLgend]

Yes because with all due respect, Digital UX/UI sort of hijacked the term "Product" Design which used to be synonymous with Industrial Design, or tangible value products. That can change however when more and more digital items (3d, nfts) gain more value despite not being in the physical world like CD's ---> MP3's --> Streaming.

Industrial Designers also have their own organization (IDSA) and their own lobby in Congress as well as federal tax I’d credentials. If your planning on calling yourself an Industrial Designer, you might want to become a member so you can get access to the global member directory, and defend your credentials.
