Mentor
Justin Hanson
Based in Boston, MA
I'm a product designer who believes good design is invisible: design choices are intensely human-centered, not consciously noticed, and proactive when possible. I've mainly worked with high-energy startups throughout my career, but also have some experience working with a 115-year-old giant.

I feel prepared to move on to UX Academy and do my best."
