UX Design vs UX Research: Creating Experiences or Studying User Needs?

UX design proposes and refines experiences; UX research develops evidence about users, tasks and contexts to inform decisions.

UI design focuses strongly on the interface's presentation and states; UX design considers how the overall interaction supports a person's task.

Data analysis and financial analysis both use evidence and spreadsheets, but they organise their questions differently.

Business analysis and operations analysis can investigate the same process from different starting points.

A data analyst primarily investigates evidence in data; a business analyst primarily clarifies needs and the changes that could address them.
