Hi, I’m Jacob Ottesen, a UX designer and wanna-be podcast creator. I studied Web Design & Development at Brigham Young University–Idaho and now work at IBM in Austin, TX. The team I work on is building a design system for all experiences on IBM.com.
I love learning and having side projects to fill my time outside of my day-to-day work. I’ll admit I selfishly started the podcast so I could learn from cool designers and archive my learnings, but I also hope listeners can gain something valuable from each discussion.
If there are any topics you’d like discussed on the podcast let me know. Additionally, if you have any feedback on how the podcast can improve, feel free to reach out.
