What is a User Experience Designer (UXD)?

Information Architecture and User Experience Design are two given components—with regard to Websites or other digital design products—that go hand-in-hand. While Information Architecture provides structure and organization—so many other components: User Experience Design provides experiences and universal accessibility for end users designed specifically for targeted audiences. User experience design is a subset of the field of experience design that pertains to the creation of Information Architecture, including interaction models that impact user experience of a device or system. As user experience is a subjective feeling, it cannot actually be “designed.” Instead, you can design for a user experience, trying to enable certain kind of experiences. The scope of the field is directed at affecting “all aspects of the user’s interaction with the product: how it is perceived, learned, and used.”
