Objective - This research paper introduces Xpert, an all-encompassing platform conceived to augment UX designers’ educational journey and employment-seeking process. The platform’s design and development were guided by a user-centric approach, primarily focusing on delivering personalized experiences and global acknowledgement through UX certification.
Methodology - The research commenced with a comprehensive examination of the unique needs and challenges faced by UX designers during their educational and professional pursuits. This was accomplished through expert consultations, digital surveys, and interactive workshops involving UX designers at various career stages. The insights gleaned from this research were instrumental in shaping the initial prototype of the platform, which was subsequently evaluated by industry experts and tested by potential users.
Results - Post the initial evaluation, high-fidelity prototypes were developed and subjected to additional rounds of evaluation and user testing. The final design of the platform was then assessed by experts and representative users employing the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ).
Findings - The UEQ study results revealed that the platform performed exceptionally well across most of the selected scales, indicating a high degree of user satisfaction with the platform’s functionalities and user experience. However, areas such as efficiency and trust were identified as potential avenues for improvement, which will be addressed in future iterations of the platform.
Conclusion - In summary, the Xpert platform has shown considerable promise in transforming the educational journey and job-seeking process for UX designers. The user-centric design approach, coupled with an emphasis on personalized experiences and global recognition through UX certification has significantly contributed to the platform’s success. Future enhancements to the app will focus on expanding its functionalities and user experience, with plans for collaboration with educational institutions and companies and the development of personalized dashboards for recruiters and mentors.
