Careers in User Experience
Practice settings
User experience (UX) design is the systematic study of users, and their tasks and settings, to elicit and test new design and design requirements. UX specialists work in a wide variety of settings, from consulting and design firms that provide UX expertise for hire, to IT companies, financial institutions, and online companies that require in-house expertise. Increasingly institutions (including libraries and museums) will hire UX professionals to manage user experience design, across both physical and digital interactions.
Primary responsibilities
UX professionals are involved in both the study of user interaction with products and services as well as the design of new systems and technologies. Responsibilities may involve:
- Planning and conducting user research
- Analyzing and interpreting quantitative and qualitative user data and feedback
- Creating user stories, personas, and storyboards
- Determining information architecture and create sitemaps
- Creating prototypes, wireframes, sitemaps, and screen flows
- Conducting usability testing
- Presenting and communicating insights to key stakeholders
