[@firialfred2036]

I have more experience in visual design than in research and breaking down problems. Because of this, I feel more drawn towards UI, but I feel like I would still do great as a UX designer once I'm able to learn the ropes and gain more skills in it. Thank you for this video!

[@alejandroandersongarciaalm3954]

honestly the best soft tutorial ive ever seen. short and straight to the point ! i love it

[@danrlewis]

So much good information here, but this video bizarrely omits that UX and UI designers are VERY often ONE combined role, especially at product companies like Spotify. It's not just that some roles have overlap - Product Designers are generally responsible for both UX and UI, including prototyping wireframes and mockups (and sometimes even some front end development and/or user research). As someone who has spent my career as a Product Designer, I can promise this is kind of essential information to provide.

[@ShortGirlsClimbCounters]

Interesting and good to know - I would want to do both.

[@123Nay]

Thank you! I am looking into changing careers and UI is more of what I’m drawn to. However, in looking for open jobs just to see what the market looks like in my area, I find that most positions are titled ux/ui . I’ve yet to see just UI designer listed by itself in job listings. This is very important information to know for those who want to get into this field so they can know what they need to learn.

[@BananaBoba]

This was very helpful to me, thank you so much for taking your time to make this video! I am a graphic design student and I finished taking my second UX class in June. I really enjoyed taking them! I love the whole process of creating concepts and working with others! UI Design sounds really fun to work with because I love to see visual content and how the interaction works.

[@ravenpurple1527]

Thank you for this! I've been struggling for the past few years trying to find what I wanna do next with my life now that I've finished high school. Nothing seemed to be something I liked and wanted to dedicate my time to, but then a couple of days ago my co worker recommended UI Design and that was something I've never heard of. I wanted to know more and decided to look it up. I've always been a visual person. I like looking at satisfying things and I like making cool and satisfying things. Now listening to your explenation, UI is something I wanna try.

[@pavlo_poliovyi]

It took me 36 years to admit to having a good sense of taste and being creative. So after your video I am thinking of becoming UI Designer. Appreciate your video!

@@careerfoundry Sure! since I recently decided to quit my job and learn UI UX, I'm currently looking for an updated UI UX "roadmap" / path that consist : 1. What are the fundamentals skills / UI UX Skills to cover that can help ease the learning progress 2. Additional skills / tools / knowledge that might come in handy and relevant to the latest current UI UX work demand (design trend, new tools etc) 3. Difference in area of expertise to cover and master between UI designer and UX designer (to determine which one are more suited for me) 4. Estimated time of learning and mastering the field, at least to be considered professional This is what I've been researching on lately and hopefully relatable to people who are newly interested in UI UX or just want to switch their career just like me. In short I want to see the holistic view of this career path before committing further to the study. Thank you for asking and hopefully this can give several new topic to cover.

[@Soramoi]

User experience still gets to decide the content on that user interface and the functionalities/needs of everything on the page. User experience designer is the link between business and pure visual design. They translate business need and requirements into functional experience fueled with interactions to deliver the user's needs and fulfill business need, while ensuring the UI is capturing the intended experience, and able to communicate with dev, as well.

[@Rey_nawaz]

Before watching this video, I was in confusion about where should I move, It made everything clear. And now I am able to see a path, where I must go. Thank You so much.

[@careerfoundry]

That's great to hear Rey! Thanks for the feedback. Which path will you choose now?

[@Rey_nawaz]

Mainly I will choose UI, But I am in initial stage, So First I will learn UX Because Without understanding the UX I wouldn't move towards UI.

[@careerfoundry]

Thanks, glad it was useful and helped you make an informed decision! There are definitely quite a few things that overlap from both fields, that's why it's common for companies to look for someone who can do both UX and UI design. Good luck on your journey!

[@eileenthomas1815]

Great video explaining the differences in these two career paths. I'm a business analyst in a company with no UX or UI Designer, so I'm called on to do a little of both in my work. I enjoy the UI side of it more, but as an analyst, it is really important for me to understand the big picture including the user needs. I'd love to see another video that also splits out a BA role separately from these two as I'm working to get my company to see the need for these two concentrations.

They're both interesting career paths, but I would feel more comfortable in UX over UI. I love collaborating and being on the ground floor of an idea, and it seems like you can't get started on the interface until you've decided on the experience you plan to have.

[@careerfoundry]

Hey Amanda, great point, and yes we'd agree. UX is a very 'people focused' role so you'll do great if that's of interest to you. Have you got started yet? If we can be of any assistance just let us know! And best of luck on your journey!

[@jignasha4]

I want to learn about both. I am most probably leaning towards UX designer. I am willing to work hard and learn about UX and little bit of UI so I get the whole picture. I am leaning towards UX because 1- I love to design, 2- I like to work with people, 3 - I like to solve problem. Thank you Dee for explaining the difference between UX and UI. This field is totally new for me. I am trying to decide which one should I choose from these two and a graphic design.

Thanks so much. Im just starting out, trying to fill a UI/UX role at my company and this was a great way to understand the difference, and I think I kind of understand. The part that trips me up is Im having trouble seeing where the UX ends and UI begins, given that there is some overlap. I understand that both are needed and achieve different things though. The UX role when working wiht wireframes and prototypes seems less tangle as to "This is where your part ends, hand off to the UI designer now." I'll get it eventually :D

Your presentation really helped in defining the difference in the roles and expectations of the UX and UI designer. I have also been an Art Director, so the research and big picture mentality is a big part of my work ethic.
