Although all users are going to have a different experience with your product; There are some key things to keep in mind when designing your product. You need to get all the information possible from your users that you can. This means, talking to them, watching them use your product, and questioning yourself about the decisions they make. A famous quote about UI design from Apple CEO Steve Jobs, "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.". By allowing your users a great product experience you can change the world.
