"optimum est alius nondum venit"
I am a designer/researcher with a keen interest in people and their relationships with technology. I realized later in life that I could break the ice with anyone and worked well in teams. I see the good in people and believe in that good.
My background in Computer Science and Environmental Education fuels my decision making and skill-set today. I just graduated with a Masters Degree in Human-Computer Interaction and Design from the University of Washington Seattle MHCI+D program in August of 2019. Through this program, I have spent 11 intense months refining my skillset and learning the 'trade'.
I am currently seeking full-time UX Design and Research positions in Washington. Feel free to reach out through LinkedIn or at augustusarthur@gmail.com.
Podcasts on heavy rotation
In 'How I built this' Guy Raz interviews successful entrepreneurs about the rise (and fall and rise) of their businesses..primo content!
I always look forward to the opinions of Nilay Patel, Dieter Bohn and Paul Miller about the week's tech.
I am a Steve Jobs fanatic and Walt Mossberg was a close friend to not only Steve but Bill Gates and other iconic tech giants. Need I say more?
I listen to learn more about the world of tech privacy. The bicker irreverence and banter is oh so refreshing!
For spiritual fulfillment, I spend a lot of time in church and also listening to my pastor's podcasts whenever I get the chance.
The relationships humans have with tech is weird. This podcast keeps me informed about new trends in UX.
