What is UX?

User experience (or “UX”) is all about understanding how designs affect people. Designs include anything that humans interact with: physical objects, digital applications, and even services or experiences (like eating in a restaurant). People who practice UX (or what we sometimes call “UXers”) may research how people are feeling about a design as well as create potential solutions—or prototypes—for making the experience better for the intended users.
