"UX design is primarily focused on fulfiling a customer's needs. It guides the development and design of the user interface in an application. UX design is important in application development because it influences whether the application users enjoy the application. It affects the continuous use of the application and whether users give positive feedback on download stores."

"I've tested a variety of approaches to the UX design process, and I find that starting by compiling a list of requirements, followed by conducting a survey or sample interview of users works well to establish a foundation for the application I want to design. After this, I create mock-ups, which I review with actual users. Finally, I implement the design."

"I've always considered teamwork and collabouration essential in every workplace. This is because, compared to independent projects, collabouration makes work easier, faster, and guarantees better results. To function effectively, I ensure there's clarity in my primary assigned role, tasks, and contacts needed for project execution."

"I consider all tasks, including workflow design, user research, and testing mock-ups easy. This is because they're important to quality and delivery, and I've developed proficiency in them. But when working on a project, I consider building the wireframes for the interface the easiest aspect of my job."

"Before I start a project, I identify and highlight the list of user requirements. Then, after carrying out my user research and survey, I list them in order of importance. These are the features I incorporate in my design. This ensures I can reflect the needs of my client in the final app."

 "There's no one process or method I follow. Instead, I combine various methods, such as user research, content audits, customer journeys, canvases, mood boards, information architecture, competitive audits, mock-ups, wireframes, storyboards, user personas, collaborator interviews, prototypes, eye tracking, multivariate testing, and user-testing. There are also design techniques, such as conventions and best practises. I incorporate all of these as part of my design process."

"Besides highlighting the concept of the intended design for ease of reference, it's important to research similar frameworks to have a practical feel for them. This has been my biggest challenge with designing. Therefore, I hired a remote personal assistant who researches for me. It's made my work faster and easier."

"Design is a creative art, which evolves constantly. To ensure I can provide my clients with the latest trends in UX design, I receive regular updates, perform research, and stay up to date on major trends in the industry. Some of the newest trends include escapism, augmented reality, advanced micro-interactions, brand transparency, 90s retro UI, and anthropomorphic animations, among many others. I receive updates through UX design feeds from social media, UX blogs, and podcasts."

"From my seven years of experience in the industry, I've come to understand that customer satisfaction is critical to job success. Thus, when a client rejects my work, I apologise and review it, considering the agreed-upon requirements. Then I ask what the client doesn't like about the work and make necessary changes until they're satisfied."

"To prevent, or at least minimize, the return of completed designs, I evaluate them myself. I evaluate my work when I get to the last stage, before finishing. I use varying methods and analytical tools, which examine UI tagging for elements that users interact with and the user behaviour such as eye-tracking, among many others."

"The UX design is a larger framework, which the UI design belongs to alongside others like information architecture and visual design. In short, UI designing focuses on a product's visual and interactive elements, while the UX designing focuses on everything that concerns the use of the product."

"I'm first a human, before a designer. I believe in equal opportunities and equal access for all. Hence, I include special features in my designs, such as voice-over commands for the visually impaired and subtitles/captions for hearing-impaired persons. My commitment to designing inclusive products remains firm, irrespective of the project."

"Design-thinking is an approach to innovation that's people-centric. This is because it primarily focuses on integrating people's needs, how technology can meet these needs, and how innovators can derive financial success from their innovations. Basically, it's an approach that protects and actualizes the interest and needs of both the client and the users. It's extremely relevant to the continued success of every business."

"As a UX designer, it's important to have excellent communication skills to understand a client's proposal and problem-solving skills to manage conflicts with clients, colleagues, and managers. It's also vital to have time management skills to keep to deadlines, and interpersonal skills to effectively collabourate with colleagues when necessary."

"Before creating any design, I try to paint an image of all the information I have. I also try to visualise what the client aims to achieve. Then, bringing both the information and the client's desires together, I create a journey map. Finally, I research designs that best convey the idea created in my head. From this, I design the UX as I envision will meet the client's request."
