Does UI design require coding?
No, UI designers don’t need to code. Their main job is to design the visual layout and user experience using tools like Figma or Sketch. Developers handle the actual implementation using code like HTML and CSS. While understanding how interfaces are built (like the basics of responsive web design) can improve collaboration and design quality, coding isn’t a core requirement. In small teams, hybrid roles may expect both design and coding, but in most cases, UI designers don’t write code.
