Interaction Designer

Interaction Designers (IxD) understand how users and technology communicate with each other and focus on designing engaging interfaces with well thought out behaviors. User experience design (UX) is playing a crucial role when developing digital products in a user-centered way.

As an interaction designer, your job is to take responsibility for the design and the usability of your prototype and your product. You will envision user interfaces that are both intuitive and well thought through, so they will delight the user at any stage. You will be a user experience practitioner who enjoys doing user research as well as prototyping and testing. To you »Design Thinking« is not just a buzzword but the key to delivering detailed visual design solutions – for products users love.
