What is UX Design?
UX design is the process of designing (digital or physical) products that are useful, easy to use, and delightful to interact with. It's about enhancing the experience that people have while interacting with your product, and making sure they find value in what you're providing.
Why is UX Important?
UX is important because it tries to fulfill the user's needs. It aims to provide positive experiences that keep users loyal to the product or brand. Additionally, a meaningful user experience allows you to define customer journeys on your website that are most conducive to business success.
Why is UX Design important to me?
Years of design experience has taught me that the best work comes from teamwork. When you focus the collective brain power and talent of the team around the Customer Experience(CX), the User Experience(UX) of the customer ends up enjoyable, frictionless, and rewarding. I like being a part of what makes a good product and experience rewarding for people.
