What is UX?
An interface, a visual, your thoughts for any product.
I guess lot of people interpret UX in different ways.
What say?
You’ve hit one of the core problems with this emerging career field. I would say most people don’t know or fully understand what UX is. Many employers have heard UX as a buzzword, and are just beginning to recognize UX as an important aspect of the design and development process. As a result, UX is often confused with UI, and many people taking on UX roles end up doing more UI work than anything else.
The basic answer I go with is “User Interface is the controls you use when working with a website/piece of software/etc. User Experience is how you feel about using those controls.”
I took this idea and ran with it in my blog post for today, which goes into more depth if you’re interested.

I like how you explain it there Ash, because you take to focus off digital experiences. I think people forget that UX doesn’t have to be about software. Reminds me of this article that @natalie_eustace1 wrote for us a while back.

User Experience is the emotional and interactive connection that people have with software.
“God I love SnapChat” - emotion
"I can’t ever figure out how to use Salesforce" - interaction
"Whenever I click this button it stops working" - interaction
"So burned out on Facebook" - emotion

I think that a good way to understand the UX is to start with the guy that invented the term “UX”

I’ve always been taken by visionary people. I believe he’s one of them.
In the huge sea of ux definitions, ux assumptions, ux methodologies and ux point of views, I look at him as a lighthouse!

I love him! there are a lot of videos of him around… he’s just a cool speaker!
a bunch of videos trying to fulfill the big question:
I think we can say UX it’s the user experience outcome related with something he has to do. It’s about knowing how well or bad is the experience of interaction of a person with an object, app or service. And to discover and influence that experience it’s necessary to follow a method and embrace a number of disciplines.

I got to see him talk in London at the NNG usability week a few years ago and he was so inspirational. He really is like the grandfather of the profession!!
