What do UX designers do all day?

What do UX designers do all day?

Whilst User Experience designers seem to be gaining more and more kudos lately, it’s still a bit of a mystery what they spend their time doing. What’s all this wireframing and whiteboard sketching all about?

So now, before they slowly start to take over the world (it’s predicted that we will see 18% growth of these job roles in next 10 years), I think it’s the perfect time to get your head around exactly what they do. 

From what I’ve seen and heard and the research I’ve done, the roles and responsibilities for User Experience designers vary from workplace to workplace, particularly from small to large businesses. I’ve also learned that it’s not just about standing up at a whiteboard drawing or talking to a lot of people, they’re actually involved in a huge amount of things. In fact, they’re usually responsible for the implementation of a new product or a product change, from start to finish.
