User experience expert, UX Designer
Description
The UX (User Experience) design is in charge of studying and evaluating the interaction of users with the product, through research and testing to ensure easy and efficient use and favourable perception. Consider all the factors to make this interaction meaningful, relevant and positive: from product acquisition to design, usability, information architecture and functionalities.
UX specialists develop iterative prototypes (wireframes) of the digital product, define the architecture of its contents (site map) and create models of the different interaction scenarios to establish the ideal task flow based on the user's needs. Their objective is that the use of the product is efficient, and the user's perception is favourable and that is why they define the prototype based on the observation of people's interaction with an interface.
These professionals usually coordinate the expert in UI (User Interface) to develop prototypes and models (mock-ups) that allow defining the final visual design of the application. For this reason, the job market often asks for a single professional who is an expert in UI and UX.
