Every year, thousands of new digital products and services are introduced to the marketplace. To become popular, these digital goods must be as “user-friendly” as possible. That’s where User Experience, or UX, Designers, come in!

UX Designers are innovative experts who focus on making digital interfaces user-friendly and intuitive, thereby improving accessibility and overall user satisfaction. Their role involves thorough research and testing to understand user requirements, behaviors, and challenges. With this insight, they craft designs that deliver smooth, functional user experiences.

Collaboration is key, as UX Designers must work closely with product managers and developers to align the design process with the company’s goals. Their ultimate aim is to strike a balance between meeting business objectives and fulfilling the needs of the users.

Mga Inaasahan at Sakripisyo

UX Designers must create visually appealing, functional, and user-friendly designs. This involves understanding user needs through research and translating those insights into practical solutions. This iterative process takes enormous patience, attention to detail, and commitment to avoid design flaws.

The role also requires balancing user needs with business goals and budgetary constraints. Thus, designers must collaborate closely with product managers and developers to align designs with strategic objectives while staying within budget.

UX Designers must stay open to feedback from stakeholders and users so they can keep refining designs and making things better. Sometimes receiving negative feedback can be difficult, especially when they’ve already worked hard on a project. That’s why resiliency and the ability to handle constructive criticism are very important. 

Mga Kasalukuyang Uso

UX Designers are starting to use artificial intelligence to analyze user data and automate tasks like generating design variations. AI is also improving customized user engagement options. But while AI integration opens up exciting new doors, it requires a learning curve to use effectively.

Accessibility and inclusive design features are receiving more attention as companies try to address diverse user needs by creating more equitable experiences. Voice and gesture-based interfaces are also becoming more common thanks to smart devices and virtual assistants. Interfaces like Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and Bixby provide more natural interactions such as voice commands that reduce reliance on keyboards and touchscreens. 

Anong uri ng mga bagay ang kinagigiliwang gawin ng mga tao sa karerang ito noong bata pa sila...

When they were younger, UX Designers might have enjoyed playing video games or building websites. They may have liked drawing, crafting, or building things, helping them develop an eye for design and aesthetics. 

"Naging bukas ako sa mga bagong ideya, nag-usisa tungkol sa kung paano gumagana ang mga bagay at kung paano pagbutihin ang mga bagay."

"Nais kong bumuo ng isang bagay na gumagana."

Kailangan ang Edukasyon at Pagsasanay
  • Technically, a degree isn’t required to enter this field, but many UX Designers earn a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, interaction design (IxD or UI/UX), computer science, or human-computer interaction
  • Employers look for a combination of education and experience. Candidates with a strong theoretical foundation (via a degree or certificate) plus practical abilities (through previous work experience) are often considered more “well-rounded”
  • Instead of a degree, some students earn a certification such as Google’s UX Design Certificate or Nielsen Norman Group’s UX Certification
  • Students can take ad hoc courses and bootcamps in UX design via platforms such as Coursera, Udacity, General Assembly, Springboard, edX, or Interaction Design Foundation
  • Other popular online beginner-level courses include:
  1. UX Academy Foundations by Designlab
  2. User Experience Design Fundamentals (Udemy)
  3. Intro to UX Design (Careerfoundry)
  4. Product Design Bootcamp (Flatiron)
  5. Advance Your UX Skills (Linkedin Learning)
  • UX Designers must demonstrate a commitment to professional development and continual learning to stay up-to-speed with industry trends and technologies
