User Experience design, or UX design, is a design process aimed at creating meaningful experiences for users. By collecting data, designers are able to create interfaces that are both functional and pleasant. This design process can be applied to applications, programs, videos, games and a multitude of other platforms.

UX design can be applied to branding, product design, and advertising. According to the International Design Foundation, a good UX design process will “consider the Why, What, and How of product use. UX design starts from the Why, then determines the What and finally the How, in order to create products that users can form meaningful experiences with.”

UX designers in the United States earn an average annual salary of over $90,000. Career opportunities can be found at industry leaders like Microsoft, Google, IBM, Amazon, Autodesk and Adobe, as well as startups. Those interested in beginning a career as a UX designer should start by viewing a UX designer portfolio, then consider growing their skills through a UX design course. Schools that are highly ranked for their comprehensive UX design courses include Ironhack, Designation, and UXER School.
