So you want to be a UX designer in South Africa?

Dive Into Product

The UX designer role in South Africa is often confused with what we call the "UX/UI" role. This misleads a lot of humans who want to get into a career in what experience design is about. I hope that this post will provide some clarity on what a UX designer is, how to become one and what to look out for to make it in the South African market. I want to focus on the “UX” role exclusively, what it entails and separating it from the “UI” role. I disagree that they are one and the same thing, though they are very commonly associated together, especially in the digital business era we are in.
