Hello
The profession of user experience designer, or UX designer for short, has emerged in a similar way to that of mobile app or web developer in the course of the digitization of business models. A UX designer in a permanent position is involved in the conception and visual design of a digital product from the start of the project. In addition to an appealing user interface, UX designers are primarily responsible for a positive user experience. To achieve this, the UX designer must be able to put himself in the shoes of the future user in order to understand the user's requirements for the application. Creative, conceptual and analytical thinking are equally required of a permanent UX designer. During the project, in addition to the developers, he also interacts with the client or customer. Presentation skills and the ability to work in a team are therefore also required of UX designers.
In addition to the job title UX designer, the assignment UX engineer, conceptual designer or information architect is also frequently used. Before the actual design, the UX designer first analyzes the requirements of the product from the perspective of later users. Methods such as user stories, user journeys or user flows are often used for this purpose. For the initial visualization of the developed concept, knowledge of common prototyping tools such as Axure, Balasmiq or Sketch is required. The UX designer uses these tools to create wireframes and mockups, which are then developed into a screen design. To ensure the positive user experience as comprehensively as possible, UX designers should finally evaluate the designed products with the help of usability tests. UX designers are also often expected to have knowledge of front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. UX designers should also have a basic technical understanding with regard to the subsequent programming of the product.
