That's cool, I've made a recent switch from front-end to product design myself. I'm finding that my engineering background is an advantage over other designers without technical experience. And by the way, it's totally possible to learn good enough visual design skills to be effective. IMO the idea that only certain special people can be visual designers is part of the same false narrative that causes us to trust people with no technical understanding to design interfaces.
