PMs and Designers collaboration

I just want to know how designers and pms are placed in a company?

Because where I work I feel the PM is really dumb and she doesn't understand ux or even a bit a sense of visual design on how ui should work. She says "I don't really care how a button looks as long as it's there on the page".

And I keep her in loop for feedbacks and she just doesn't understand the problem statement. Initially I thought maybe I'm not explaining it correctly but it's almost a year now and I feel she's dumb.

She's actually a friend of the CEO so she agrees to whatever he says and he's kind of similar so I don't really know what to say.

Also, I always work on a new project without having a PRD in place. So again is that how it's supposed to go where I do the PMs job and a product designers job or how is it?

Any comments or thoughts are appreciated 🙏

More often that not designers have to instill the value that investing in good design brings in their teams and companies.

Rather than fighting over how the button should look, learn to speak the PM’s language. Try to understand what they are trying to achieve, Better CTR on the banner? Lower funnels drops? And use that to pitch on why a particular button would work better.

If not, just A/B test and prove it.
Once you build that credibility, it’ll get smoother
