What Does a UX/UI Designer Do?
A UX/UI designer shapes how a product works and looks — from user flows and wireframes to polished, accessible interfaces. They research user needs, prototype solutions, and hand off designs to engineers, balancing usability with brand and business goals.
Design collaborates constantly with product and engineering, and remote design teams rely on shared tools like Figma. A strong portfolio matters more than any single tool.
