Question 3

Do I need a computer science background for UX/UI?

Accepted Answer

No. UX/UI is a design discipline, not an engineering one. Visual thinking, empathy for users, attention to detail, and software fluency matter more than coding. Many strong product designers come from arts, communication, fashion, interior, or business backgrounds. Basic understanding of how code works helps when handing off designs to developers (terms like CSS, components, responsive design), but actually writing code is not required for entry-level UX/UI roles.
