WHAT IS UX?

UX, short for User Experience, is the term used to describe the overall experience people have when they interact with a product or service, such as a website, app, or physical item. The Interaction Design Foundation defines UX as "the process design teams use to create products that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users." It covers everything from branding and design to usability and functionality. In other words, UX designers are responsible for designing the entire user experience, ensuring that the product is user-friendly, visually appealing, and effective in meeting the user's needs.
