A user experience (UX) specialist is a professional dedicated to improving user interaction with digital products and services through different design methodologies applied to the user experience of the product or service. Their work is very varied and they can specialise in analysis, conceptualisation or execution.

Responsibilities include:

• Research and analysis of user needs and behaviours.
• Designing interfaces that are functional, intuitive and attractive.
• Usability testing to identify and solve interaction problems.
• Collaboration with other departments such as development, marketing and product to ensure a consistent and optimised experience.

There is currently a great demand for specialists in User Experience and Usability. On the one hand, the rise of apps and digital businesses has demanded these profiles, which are key in the development of platforms. On the other hand, traditional businesses have begun a process of transformation focused on the consumer. UX processes are necessary in any customer experience, both physical and digital.
