Gonna go out on a limb and say...a person who develops UIs.

As in front end developer. But knowing how many random terms and titles get thrown in this industry around it could really be anything.

they seem as though they want a UI Designer and Developer in 1 although they have a UX team. Just curious what the consensus was.
- Title for the job is UI Developer. Trying to tailor my resume, I'm a UI Designer :/ but this would work for me.bklyndroobeki

I still have not found the true value of a UX developer. All of the UX developers that I worked with provided me with wireframes that I had to redesign because not one of them understood website design, layout form and functionality....essentially useless.
I haven't met a UX developer/designer who actually went to school for UX development or has a degree in this field of study. I am almost certain that UX is a made up title to help up-sell a website and or mobile design.
- YEs but you're talking about a UX developer not UI developer...world of difference there buddyukit2
- Agreed, I was just interjecting the UX position into the convo.organicgrid

What's the difference between a UI Designer, Visual Designer, Interface Designer, Web designer? They seem very similar to me.
- No difference really. Some probably just like the ring of one over another. It's dumb.jtb26
- So I can call myself a UI designer nowpinkfloyd

- Whenever I see job descriptions for UI Designer and Interface Designer they seem to be looking for someone who’s worked on apps, games or software; While Visual/Web Designer not necessarily the case. For me, the distinction is the designer will be working on a “product” vs. selling a “product”.Complexfruit

- mono, I wish I'd made the decision to stay away from web, and concentrate on poster, radio and TVCs. But no, I had to get into web design, or whatever the fuck it is now, first. Ugh.Continuity

UI Developer = The Artist Formerly Known as Web Designer, with more emphasis on you using a text editor and less emphasis on fucking pixels in PS.

I'd like someone to answer how a UX developer is different from a UI developer or a UX designer.
- one ends with the letter I and other ends with the letter xyurimon

I'd say that the term is synonymous with "Front End Developer". Which, from my understanding, is someone who takes static designs and converts them to HTML/CSS. With some jQuery skills thrown in too.
This role becoming increasing more technical (ie. lots more programming), imo. I could see a "Mid End Developer" role becoming more commonplace for writing the Angular, Ember, React, etc. code.

UI vs UX vs Web Designer?
- pinkfloyd0
A UX designer is more focused about the user's experience of the design. They think about the emotions and psychology of that experience.
