User Experience Design
User Experience Design focuses on the structure of the experience: user needs, flows, tasks, research, and service logic.
In this vault, UX is important because the UID course works with UX-driven UI. UI decisions should be based on the experience underneath, not only on visual taste.

UX is the logic of the experience.
It asks what users need, what they are trying to do, what sequence makes sense, what can go wrong, and what the product should help them understand.
User Interface Design translates that logic into screens, components, content hierarchy, feedback, and visual behavior.

| UX output | UI translation |
