Interaction Design
Design and Creative Software
Interaction design (IxD) is a discipline within UX design focused on creating engaging interfaces with well-thought-out behaviors, defining how users interact with digital products through elements like buttons, gestures, and transitions. Practitioners design the flow and feedback of user actions in apps, websites, and software to make interactions intuitive and satisfying. It draws on psychology, visual design, and usability research and is a core skill for UX/UI designers and product designers.
