UI Design:

  • Focuses on the visual elements and interactive aspects of a product, such as screens, buttons, and icons, ensuring a visually appealing and seamless user interaction.
  • Involves the interactivity, look, and feel of a product screen or web page.

UX Design:

  • Encompasses the entire user journey and experience with a product, focusing on its functionality, accessibility, and overall enjoyability.
  • Manages the user journey as they interact with a product or service, aiming to provide meaningful experiences involving various areas of product development.

Conclusion

UI design is more about the look and feel of the product, while UX design is heavily steeped in research, analysis, and understanding user needs, focusing on the overall experience and impression left on the user.
