UI/UX Design

“User Experience Design” is often used interchangeably with terms such as “User Interface Design” and “Usability.” However, while Usability and User Interface Design are important aspects of UX Design, they are mere subsets of it. A UX designer is concerned with the entire process of acquiring and integrating a product, including aspects of branding, design, usability, and function. It is a story that begins before the device is even in the user’s hands and ends with user satisfaction.
