Product designer of 6+ years here. As a beginner product designer you can read all the theory and resources you want - but if you don't practice actually making stuff alongside it your work won't improve.

Design, and UI design is a pretty hard thing to learn theory first. You gotta put it into practice by making something, thinking critically about it (and seek critique from others) and then remaking.

Just to throw another approachable resource in. https://www.refactoringui.com/

Open figma and start making something!

I’ll add the critical component of making something and watching others try to use it. My imagination is always getting pushed to imagine the ways people will use/misuse/misunderstand/repurpose something I’ve built!
