    @mono - I agree that a good designer will be capable of doing it all, but separating the roles can (not always) really help reduce the risk of unsuccessful design iterations.

    If you have the responsibility of creating a webpage for someone and you roll your UX/UI into one iteration and either aspect is a failure point then you have to do both processes again.

    I think when small/medium shops start recruiting a 'UX Designer' and a 'UI Designer' they are simply recruiting 2 'Designers' that when under stress specialise in either making the buttons look nice or making sure the user can always see how much money they're spending.
