UX design
Digital interaction craft
UX design is the practice of shaping how users experience a product, website, or application—encompassing usability, accessibility, and satisfaction.
Short for user experience design, the field focuses on understanding user needs through research and testing, then designing interfaces that feel intuitive: She moved from graphic design into UX design.
The discipline spans information architecture, interaction patterns, and user flows.
