Can you do UX design without coding?

If you are considering getting into UX/UI design, you're probably wondering the same thing. The short answer is no. UX design does not require coding. Nonetheless, there are occasions where learning to code can give you a leg up on the competition.

What background do you need for UX design?

While many UX and UI Designers come from more closely related fields — like graphic design, web development, or product design — it's also quite common for new UX Designers to have a background in psychology, computer science, or even the social sciences (which can be leveraged in the UX research phase).

Is coding necessary for UX?

Does a good UX designer require coding capabilities? In short: No, but it helps. Your success as a UX designer isn't tied to whether you can code or not; it's tied to your execution of the design-thinking process and if you are able to leverage mockup software to create designs that solve the actual problem at hand.

What motivates you to take up UX design?

UX design may be a good fit if you aspire to a creative and analytical position, a decent salary, long-term job security, a chance to branch out skill-wise, the possibility of freelancing, or just the chance to do some meaningful work that makes the world a better place.
