User Experience Product Design
First, what is UX?
When we say “user experience,” it is referring to how people interact with a product. For example, when we want to turn on a light in our room, we interact with a light switch. The design of the switch—including the color, material, location, and physical appearance—may impact how we feel about the interaction.
Similarly, in the digital design world, UX refers to everything that affects a user’s interaction with a digital product. When people use a product, they usually evaluate their experiences according to the following criteria:
- Value. Does this product give me value?
- Function. Does this product work?
- Usability. Is it easy to use?
- General impression. Is it pleasant to use?
UX origins
Don Norman, co-founder of the Nielsen Norman Group, coined the term “user experience” in the 1990s. According to Norman, “User experience encompasses all aspects of the end-user’s interaction with the company, its services, and its products.”
