The term User Interface is often confused or combined with User Experience design, but they actually represent different parts of a well-designed product, app, or website.
At its core, UX design uses a keen understanding of user behavior to identify and refine the optimal user pathways to accomplishing specific goals; UI design communicates the visual pathway that has been defined by the UX designer, and prioritizes a cohesive visual experience throughout. Ideally, these separate disciplines work together to create the perfect balance between form and function.
