The Internship Prototype Designer is an entry-level role focused on learning and assisting in creating prototypes, often held by students or recent graduates. In contrast, a Product Designer is a full-time professional responsible for end-to-end product design, including user experience and interface. While both roles involve prototyping, the Internship Prototype Designer is more about gaining experience, whereas the Product Designer has broader responsibilities and industry experience.
