Do u need to be natural gifted to be a product designer?
Not really. But some design fundamentals coupled with a general sense of aesthetic is what you need to be aiming for.
No.. It may sound like an oversimplification, but having a naturally strong aesthetic and the ability to simplify complex ideas visually can give you an edge in UI design.
Being an adept problem solver and a collaborator helps you in UX design.
If you have both of the above you can be a good Product Designer.
Creativity can be nurtured and enhanced, knowledge can be collected, and self-improvement can happen through iteration and training. 'Gift' can be helpful, but it is certainly not a prerequisite.
No. But you should develop good eye and taste for design. This can only be achieved by practice.
Just ask developer and designers to make exact copy of competitors product
I suck at drawing learned to design for my previous startup after being a PM for the longest time.
1/ Learn the basics of Figma, first princples of UXand a couple frameworks like JTBD.
2/ Practice a ton - start by making a few screens and make a concept app
3/ would be great if you can find a senior dedigner to give you feedback on what you build
