User experience (UX) designers use research and design skills to craft products that effectively serve end users. As advocates for users, they ensure that project requirements include user needs and expectations as well as the business needs of stakeholders and clients.
UX designers conduct user research to identify user goals and expectations, and lead the design process from general concept to detailed UI appearance. Designing is iterative — generating possible solutions, user-testing those designs, and revising based on these results, until the solution is efficient, enjoyable, and easy to use.
Within the core team, UX designers share design best practices, create the user interface, and validate prototyped solutions. They work closely with analysts to define system interactions and flows, and polish these into an effective solution. UX designers collaborate with developers to make sure that proposed designs are technically feasible and accurately translated to working code.
