    ux and ui design should go hand-in-hand, never in silos. our ux team here starts the what happens discussion, then creates use cases, wires and testing environments, multiple iterations of the process. this usually happens with ui taking a secondary roll. ui then takes over and gives the wires a visual life, making any adjustments as needed. ux will then come back and if needed test the visuals here and there.

    they really are two separate things. you can get a guy to do both, but what inevitably happens is they start making ui design decisions during the ux stage thinking visually, before they solve structurally and functionally.
