    I'm a UX designer and Front End Designer/Dev.

    A lot of Wireframers and UI designers sort of fall under the confusing umbrella of "UX".

    A UX designer in my view is basically a UI or product designer who does their job properly with user research and feedback.

    UI Designers' focus is on lush appearance and slick presentation. This doesn't need to involve user feedback. UX designers need to be out there talking to customers and half the job is user research rather than UI research.

    I stumbled into my role not really appreciating it that much, but I've seen so many shitty-UX-great-UI designers that I've started to believe I have a purpose.

    • UI is about presentation. UX is about intuition and creating the most effective experiences to achieve goals.orrinward2
