User experience designer

Primary duties: A user experience (UX) designer oversees all facets of product development regarding its purchasing, branding, usability and functionality. They collect and review user feedback to determine what a product needs to be efficient, functional and successful. They apply this feedback to the design, organization and usability of products.

Many employers do seek previous experience, so an internship or portfolio may help these professionals secure employment.
