The goal of User Experience design (UXD) is to improve the overall experience a user has with a product.
UXD involves a variety of activities — user research, persona mapping, information architecture, wireframing, interaction design, prototyping, testing to name a few. It involves every aspect of how someone interacts with any product or digital platform.
