While UX design is a field that feels essential to product development, its function still remains a mystery to many because of its relative newness. Thus, when someone says \u201cI\u2019m a UX designer,\u201d it is not always immediately clear what they actually do day-to-day.<br \/>\nThis article is dedicated to those who are genuinely still unsure what a UX designer does.<br \/>\nWhat UX Design Is All About<br \/>\nFor a long time design has been associated with graphic design (\u201cthe look\u201d of a product). As digital technology and our expectations about digital interactions has grown, we\u2019ve begun focusing more and more on \u201cthe feel\u201d part of a design, also known as the user experience. If UX is the experience that a user has while interacting with a product, then UX Design is the process by which a designer tried to determine what that experience will be (Note: We can\u2019t really design experiences as a formal entity. However, we can design the conditions of an intended experience).<br \/>\nA UX designer\u2019s role is directly involved in the process of making a product useful, usable and enjoyable for its users. If you want to learn more about UX design, consider reading the article, What You Should Know About User Experience.<br \/>\nResponsibilities of UX Designer<br \/>\nHow do UX designers work on a day-to-day basis? The answer to this question, as with many questions, is: it depends. A UX designer\u2019s responsibilities can vary dramatically from company to company and sometimes even from project to project within one company. Despite the variety the role offers, there are some general functions a UX designer can be expected to perform irrespective of the company they work at.<br \/>\nBelow I\u2019ve summarized the 6 main responsibilities of UX designer:<br \/>\nread here: <a href=\"https:\/\/theblog.adobe.com\/what-does-a-ux-designer-actually-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/theblog.adobe.com\/what-does-a-ux-designer-actually-do\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>About Maddy:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Twitter<\/strong>: \u00a0@MaddyDaigle<br \/>\nMadeleine Daigle<br \/>\nUX Designer at Canada Revenue Agency &#8211; Agence du revenu du Canada<br \/>\nOttawa, Ontario, Canada<br \/>\nI am a graduate from Carleton University&#8217;s Information Technology Multimedia and Design program.
