UX Designer

User experience (UX) design improves the usability and satisfaction of a product by focusing on the user's interaction with it. The goal of UX design is to make products more user-friendly, efficient and satisfying. 

A UX Designer's job is to ensure that a products users have a positive experience when interacting with it. This involves understanding how users think, feel and behave when using a product and identifying potential areas for improvement. A UX Designer then designs solutions that address these issues, ensuring that the end result is a more usable and satisfying product. 

• Designing mobile apps or software user interfaces 
• User-centred design principals 
• User experience prototyping and wireframing 
• Knowledge of website analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Adobe SiteCatalyst, Heatmaps, or CrazyEgg to measure engagement and conversion rates 
• User research and usability testing tools such as Morae, Silverback, UserTesting.com, or Inspectlet 
• Dedicated UI/UX tools like Balsamiq, Sketch and Figma 

UX Designers also need excellent communication and problem-solving skills. They need to be able to effectively convey their design ideas to others and listen to and act on feedback. They must also be able to identify and solve problems quickly, as many design changes can be made during a project's development. 

UX Designers may also work with both internal teams to improve the usability of existing products and with external companies that specialise in usability testing and user research.
