Skill Sets for UX Designer

3/6/2014

My career interest as a UX Designer...

User Researcher – interviews the users and finds out how they behave, think and act. Their overall goal is to know who the user is and how he or she uses your product or service. The researcher tries to uncover the usage and decision making patterns hidden behind the obvious. User researchers also use neuroscience tools in order to get more accurate data.
User Testing Specialist – is the person in charge of the user tests. He or she collaborates with the client, writes testing scenarios, moderates the tests and writes the analysis. The user testing specialist is also in charge of the biometric equipment (eye trackers, skin sensors, fEEG machines etc.). Just like the researcher, the testing specialist lives and breathes data.
User Interface Designer – focuses on designing user interface by using design patterns and is somewhat less focused on the interaction. Often combines the roles of an interaction designer, visual designer and user researcher.
UX Strategist – defines the vision behind UX design and connects design strategy to real business results. Also guides the design process, analyzes research data and supervises the core UX team. A lot of times the strategist is hired to advance the UX practice within a company.
