User experience or UX was a term that simply applied to how a person feels about using a system.

The term ā€˜user experience designā€™ was first coined by in 1995 while he was the vice president of the Advanced Technology Group at Apple. He said:

ā€œI invented the term because I thought human interface and usability were too narrow. I wanted to cover all aspects of the personā€™s experience with the system including industrial design, graphics, the interface, the physical interaction, and the manual.ā€

Norman also authored the book ā€˜The Design of Everyday Thingsā€™ which pioneered the prioritization of usability and function over aesthetics and remains highly influential in design circles today.
