User Experience and
Product Design
Overview
Do you find using your mobile banking app as simple as using your favourite social media app? User Experience (UX) works to design human interactions with digital or physical products. UX Design aims to develop and iterate products that meet people’s specific needs with as little friction as possible. In addition, UX Design seeks to attract, retain, and maximise the engagement and productivity of users using an app.
Companies with simple and easy-to-use interfaces acquire and retain more customers on their digital platforms. As a result, more customers buy their products and stick to their brand. In addition, companies that offer physical or digital products are paying more attention to their product design, starting from the way their products are unboxed. The design of these experiences can improve customer loyalty and create a stronger brand identity.
