UX/UI Designers Role, Responsibilities and Skills

UX/UI Designers They can make things look magical, but work horribly. Alternatively they can also make things work great, but look terrible. To get the best of both worlds, they must be great at both UX and UI.

What is a UX/UI designer? In its simplest fashion it is a combination of User Experience and User Interface roles. UX/UI designers have two general responsibilities: Firstly, to understand what makes the target customer tick and what they will find delighting when interacting with their brand; Secondly, designing the look and feel of the interphase, as well as the interactivity and responsiveness with the goal of making it as intuitive as possible.

Their job responsibilities and tasks are the following:

Research, Analysis, and Strategy
Wireframing and Prototyping
Execution and Analytics
Design, Branding and Graphics
User Interface and Interaction Design
