Senior UX designers are responsible for developing and implementing user experience designs based on specific guidelines for their organizations. They may create concepts, drawings, and blueprints before producing actual design patterns, and they also create icons, buttons, labels, logos, title bars, and backgrounds from scratch and adhere to specific styles, colors, and textures.

Senior UX designers typically work in an office environment during regular business hours and should work well in team settings with other designers to share ideas and concepts and ensure that all final work meets requirements. They may use different techniques and software to design parts and help new design staff to complete objectives, and should have communication skills to work well with managers and report progress on a regular basis.

These designers use a personal computer to create and modify designs and should be proficient with design applications and hardware. They may also survey users and work to satisfy their concerns with the user experience, as well as prototype and sketch ideas for test panels before deployment. They must use feedback to provide the most efficient experiences for users and work with other teams of employees, such as in marketing and operations, to develop cohesive ideas for products. They also contribute during work meetings to suggest ways to improve UX strategies.

A bachelor's degree in software development or another computer-related field is generally required for this position, and prior designing experience is also necessary. Industry certifications may be beneficial. (Copyright 2018 PayScale.com)
