User experience has become a ubiquitous buzzword in the tech and design field. Equally as ubiquitous is the association of "user experience" with the title "designer". Which is irritating.

It is structured and modeled after the 5 stages of grieving: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
