To help clear things up a bit, in this video I'm going to cover the roles, tools, and expectations of day to day life for both jobs. At the end, I share a few opinions on which is right for you to pursue.
In a nutshell, UX design makes websites functional and UI design makes websites beautiful.
UX design, short for user experience design, is a very analytical process that is heavily based on research to find out how to design a a product in a way that it solves the customer's problem(s).

Finally! A clear definition of the two roles. Thank you Jesse for taking the time to do these vids. This was extremely helpful!

@anamariariano7732 5 лет назад

Love the way you explained. Sometimes it's hard to explain what a UX/UI design is. I always said UX build the skeleton and UI place the makeup.

@julianfrench4817 6 лет назад

This was probably one of the most helpful videos I've seen on this topic. I especially found the last bit helpful where you spoke about your experiences and how the two roles are in the real world.

The best video to introduce differences between UI and Ux description, thanks! I agree with you that being a multidisciplinary person help you on your work. I am a senior business administration student , and I just read "design of everyday things and don't make me think books." I will dive into this both field UI&UX after two months later ( I will be graduating , so I have a more time to study intensly) Best regards! :)

@imshubhi 3 года назад

Really great video about the difference. I was totally confused with both.. now I know which path to go. It will be much helpful if you could share any links where to find Free courses to pursue career in UI. Any course which helps the one who knows the software already. May be any certificate will help me restart my career after my 10 year gap.

I taught a university class for computer science students around 2000 called “End User Computing.” We touched on stuff they didn’t get in their programming classes, including UX/UI, documentation, support, and so forth. I was the first one I knew to use the Don Norman and Steve Krug books in a class. Glad to know they’re still seen as good resources. Great video! Thanks.

@RKMultiMedia87 6 лет назад

Thank you for this video! The best explanation for someone who needs an enhanced career change. Learning the skills are important and then earning career titles will come over time. It's all about puzzling things together. It's never just one thing, but to be multi-skilled in similar fields of digital design and then focusing on what will drive results. As Graphic Design became more widely used on job sites, along with it are needing many skills. Sometimes it's straight up graphic design or being a production artist, but other times it requires coding skills or SEO. I was always interested in how things work. I like to think like an engineer, but I like for things to be creative. At first, I just created things because it looked good and meeting people's requests. As years passed by, I became more analytical about things and questioned why does it work? What's the purpose? Coding is just another skill and sometimes it's challenging to keep up with, but I think UI is the answer for me as I am a very visual person, but logical so that's where I can learn the UX side of things. Front End development or Web Design are areas that I have dove into already, but haven't held jobs in those areas. UX is the blueprint, UI us the construction worker. You have great analogies, but am I explaining that right? Thank you! I have been doing a lot of career researching in the past 2 or 3 years and this one video confirmed what I want to end up doing in my next phase of a design career. I always had a goal in my mind and it's to work with a team of designers and developers. UI/UX is the way to go about it.
