What is UX Design really?

As digital technology continues to grow and improve, our expectations about digital interactions has increased as well. In this era of high expectations, we’ve begun focusing more and more on “the feel” part of a design, A.K.A, the user experience. If UX is the experience that users have while interacting with a product, then UX Design is the process by which the company designs said experience. Or, more accurately, the process by which a UX Designer designs the conditions to create an intended experience.

A UX designer's job centers around making the product useful, usable, and enjoyable for its users. It's typical for UX designers to focus on things like product research, different user personas, and product testing.

UX is an exciting career path for more reasons than just the money. If you're curious about human behavior and passionate about design, then UX is the right career for you. It's been rated as one of the best careers in the United States, and there's a reason for that.

UX Professionals Are In Demand

UX design is one of the top five in-demand skills according to LinkedIn. This is expected to continue in 2021 as UX becomes a Google ranking factor, meaning businesses will need to focus on their UX to remain competitive.

High Demand means High Reward
