Where did user experience come from?
In 1993 Don Norman coined the term “user experience” for his group at Apple Computer. (Watch Don explain the history of “UX” and what he thinks of how people use his word now.) But the field is older than the term.
How did Don Norman define user experience?
Don Norman, the man who coined the term “User Experience”, explains that user experience covers “all aspects of the person's experience with the system including industrial design graphics, the interface, the physical interaction and the manual.”
Who coined user experience design?
Donald Norman, a cognitive scientist, joined the team at Apple in the early 90s as their User Experience Architect—making him the first person to have UX in his job title. He came up with the term “user experience design” as a way of encompassing all that UX is.
How do you find out who your users are?
The best way to know your users is to talk to them directly. Thus, a live interview is the most popular and effective means of user profiling. However, if you are at the early stages of product development, you don't have any users yet. In this case, you can analyze your competitors and talk to their users instead.
