User Experience Designer Jobs in Virginia

A User Experience (UX) Designer in the technology industry is responsible for enhancing user satisfaction by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with a product. They work closely with product teams and stakeholders to understand the goals and objectives of the product, conducting user and market research, designing wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs through user testing.
