Ask DN: How did you explain to your parents what you do? ("He is my son and he makes websites!")

    I work for Match (aka Tinder, OKCupid, Meetic & cie), so what I tell people to explain my everyday job (Lead UX product designer) is :

    I help people find the right person to spend the rest of their life with

    It doesn't explain what my tasks are, but it helps people really understand the goal and the meaning of my job.

    So maybe you could try this, not explain your everyday job & tasks, but what your work is about, its goal and its meaning.

    It could be something like :

    I help people feeling better when they use digital product

    And if you want to add something, maybe you could try this :

    I help people feeling better when they use digital products by understanding their goal and make it easier, and nicer (more beautiful?), for them, to achieve it.

    Hope you liked it!
