User Experience Team
What makes a good user experience designer?
Somebody who asks questions while observing actions to understand what people really need as opposed to what they say they need. Somebody who’s constantly looking at the world and reevaluating what they can do to enhance an experience. Who has a heightened awareness of everything that’s going on in their surroundings and can break it down, turn it into components, and put them into applications where it makes sense. Who’s trying to make an application as real-life as possible, as if it’s part of the landscape.
