Who is a UI Designer, and what does a UI Designer do?
A UI Designer is a professional who successfully creates great user experiences for their user base. They know their users and work alongside them – through research and continuous testing – to create amazing digital interfaces that give them their desired results.
A UI Designer is often the figure in charge of everything concerning the visual and interactive part of a web product, app, smartwatch and digital TV. All design and interfaces that the user interacts with are there thanks to the UI designer. These moments are crucial as they usually represent the very first impact with any brand. The UI Designer’s work guides the user inside interfaces in products, showing them clearly and precisely where they can find what they are looking for exclusively through it.
