Software product designers are responsible for designing the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) of an application.  While business analysts are engaged with the business and market to understand requirements and implementation details, the product designers bring those details to life.  A successful product designer will define precisely how a UI will look (screen mockups, text, images, controls, etc.) and streamline how the user is able to navigate through the product UI.
