A UI Designer oversees the user interface of a company’s website or digital presence. You’ll incorporate ways for users to interact with a product and make sure these methods are effective and positive for potential customers. UI Designers spend time liaising with clients to determine their needs and will collaborate with design colleagues to create an effective finished product.
To be a UI Designer you’ll need to be able to communicate well with your team and with people outside of your organisation. It’s important that you are skilled in a range of digital strategies and are up to date with the latest technologies. UI Designers need to be creative and should be able to come up with solutions to a range of problems.
