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.
