What makes us feel happy at work? Choosing the career path or switch, we ask and answer tons of questions and try to analyze the variety of factors. No wonder: that choice determines our lifestyle, relations, personal and professional growth for a big part of everyday life. Recently, we’ve run into this sort of question at Quora\u00a0which sounded like “How do User Experience designers (Mobile and Web) provide value to humanity?<\/strong>” and became the ground for today’s article.<\/span><\/p>\n

The question is definitely great and the answer, in particular, can be important for the young specialists who are considering this career. Not only in terms of humanity, but also in terms of yourself adding something to the global progress. Whatever people tell about money as the key point, in creative spheres there is a variety of research showing that designers need the feeling of creative growth and participation in global progress not less than a good salary. One of the articles in Harvard Business Blog<\/a> mentions three big reasons that are common in making people happy at work: a meaningful vision of the future, a sense of purpose, and great relationships. Specifying the sense of purpose, they state: “People want to feel as if their work matters, and that their contributions help to achieve something really important. And except for those at the tippy top, shareholder value isn\u2019t a meaningful goal that excites and engages them. They want to know that they \u2014 and their organizations \u2014 are doing something big that matters to other people.” Being aware of the destinations and seeing themselves the part of globally important processes, people tend to make the choice of a particular career as good for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without getting dip into the sphere, you can see UX designers like people working out endless flows of screens. At the first sight for many people who don’t deal with all the aspects, this job looks neither interesting nor creative. And the aspect of its value for humanity also seems to be not so obvious. Here in Tubik, we\u2019ve been lucky to see the sphere of UX design high and deep, in all its diversity, creating digital products for companies worldwide. And what we\u2019ve seen and taken part in, makes us certain to answer: UX designers do provide considerable value for humanity<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before starting the list of aspects for this value, let\u2019s check the terminology. In one of the issues of UI\/UX Design Glossary<\/a>, we described UX in the following way: it is the general attitude and emotional feedback that the user has at different stages of using the product. In terms of digital products, such as websites or applications, UX is a comprehensive term involving all the possible stages of user engagement. UX is based on several key factors such as usability, utility, desirability, attractiveness, speed of work, etc. If all the logic and possible issues of product implementation into real life are analyzed and designed properly, it forms a positive user experience which means that users are able to satisfy their needs in a fast, easy, and pleasant way. Positive user experience remains one of the strongest factors of retaining users.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working on the UX for a digital product such as a website or mobile app, UX designers have to concentrate on such aspects as:<\/span><\/p>\n

– usability<\/strong> (the product is convenient, clear, logical, and easy to use)<\/span>
\n – utility<\/strong> (the product provides useful content and solves users\u2019 problems)<\/span>
\n – accessibility<\/strong> (the product is convenient for different categories of users)<\/span>
\n – desirability<\/strong> (the product is attractive and problem-solving, it retains users and creates a positive experience which they are ready to repeat).<\/span><\/p>\n
