UX/UI Design is about making digital products, like apps and websites, easy to use and visually appealing.

User Experience (UX) Design focuses on how a product works—making sure each step is smooth and enjoyable for users.

User Interface (UI) Design handles the look and layout, choosing colors, fonts, and icons to make the product attractive and user-friendly. Together, UX and UI create a product that’s both functional and visually engaging.
