Career Opportunities for UX/UI Designers
UX researchers conduct research with real users, gathering both qualitative and quantitative data about how people think, feel, and behave. They then share this data with the product team, to help everyone understand the target audience and to inform a user-centric design strategy.
Ultimately, UX researchers take the guesswork out of the design process, making sure that the team has enough information to make data-informed product decisions.
As a UX designer, your job will be to create functional, reliable, and usable products.
You will also be tasked with creating accessible and beautiful interfaces.
You will create wireframes and introduce aesthetics and delightful details into products.
UX strategy can be thought of as the convergence of UX design and business strategy.
