"Good UX is good business" is a quote that I’ve heard often in the industry, and I’d have to agree - effective design and innovation has the power to create meaningful impact digitally and in person, across all kinds of businesses and communities.
What is UX Design?
User Experience (UX) Design is a human-centered approach towards a product (goods, services, offerings, and/or experiences). UX Design involves building or improving a product so that it is useful, usable, and desirable for its users, customers, or beneficiaries. If you have creative, analytical, and problem-solving skills, learning more about UX Design might be of interest to you!
Why is UX Design important?
No matter what industry you’re in, learning how to design with the user in mind is essential to creating a successful product and business. This in-demand skill set seamlessly merges the following disciplines:
- Business, Marketing, and Communications
- Psychology
- Graphic and Industrial Design
- Engineering
- Interface Design
Good UX has the power to help a business thrive through brand loyalty, satisfied customers, and reduced costs (when it comes to fixing usability bugs later down the line). It has the power to improve people's lives, whether it means making a product more accessible to people with disabilities, or simply making an entertaining product that brightens someone's day!
