Technology & AIWhat is UX/UI design?
UX/UI Design encompasses User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design — two complementary disciplines that shape how people interact with digital products. UX focuses on the overall experience and usability, while UI addresses the visual and interactive elements of the interface.
In short
UX/UI Design covers User Experience and User Interface design. UX focuses on usability, user flows, and overall experience. UI handles visual design, interactive elements, and interface aesthetics. Agency's Design.2 edition traces the history and evolution of the field.
