A UX (User Experience) designer is responsible for designing the experience a user would have when interacting with a company, its services, and its products. UX design is a process that focuses on the interaction between real human users and everyday products and services, such as websites, apps, and even coffee machines. The goal of UX design is to make a product or service usable, enjoyable, and accessible. Unlike user interface design, which focuses solely on the design of a computer interface, UX design encompasses all aspects of a users perceived experience with a product or website, such as its usability, usefulness, desirability, brand perception, and overall performance.

UX designers work with teams of product managers, UI designers, and developers to create a cohesive and user-centric experience. They leverage a wide range of technical and workplace skills to bring a successful product or service to market (or improve upon an existing product). Some of the tasks that a UX designer may perform include user research, creating user flows, wireframes, and prototypes, conducting A/B testing, information architecture, sitemaps, and user flows.

The role of a UX designer can vary greatly from one company to the next, and UX designers may also have different job titles such as user experience researcher, information architect, interaction designer, human factors engineer, business analyst, consultant, creative director, interaction architect, and usability specialist. The average base salary for a UX designer in the US is $95,567 according to Glassdoor.

In summary, a UX designer is responsible for designing the experience a user would have when interacting with a company, its services, and its products. They work with teams to create a cohesive and user-centric experience, and their tasks may include user research, creating user flows, wireframes, and prototypes, conducting A/B testing, information architecture, sitemaps, and user flows.
