5. I am a designer. What track should I select & how does Method view or differentiate experience design & product design? 
   1. The overall design “spectrum” consist of one end being heavily strategy focused and the other being more focused on the execution of design. That strategy mindset plays a larger role with our Experience Design team where they are helping clients understand their problem with the help of research and workshops where our Product Design team is responsible for helping them realize those efforts in design solutions. However, it is important that designers don’t feel locked into those roles and we often have more hybrid teammates who flex from one end of the spectrum to the other.
