Why coding matters for UX designers
- Communication

UX is a case of solving problems:
Enhanced critical thinking and problemsolving are big benefits to learning code!
- Creativity & self-belief
Learning new skills is a way to keep your mind agile when solving problems & finding creative solutions.
Coding skills will be a great asset to your profession as a designer, & will give you a layer of confidence.
Employment flexibility
Companies will have different expectations for UX designers. Coding skills will always be an advantage.
The more multifaceted you are, the more valuable you'll be.
