S01E05 - SAVANNAH OSTROWSKI | PROGRAM MANAGER

Episode five is here and features Program Manager Savannah Ostrowski! Before talking with Savannah I wasn’t exactly sure how UX fit into program management so it was great getting to connect with her and learn about how she strives to intersect development and UX. She also shares some great advice about pursuing your passions that I found very encouraging.

Our paths overlapped at Blink for a short spell so it was great to catch up and hear about how she’s landed her dream job at Microsoft.

Enjoy!

S01E04 - DAVE KENNEDY | UX RESEARCHER

Next on the podcast is UX Researcher Dave Kennedy. I met Dave in grad school and one of the first things I noticed about him was the astute and thoughtful questions he asked during class. It’s no wonder he became a researcher! In our conversation I learned more about Dave’s diverse design background and how he works to bring creativity into his research process.

If you’re a designer with interest in research or a researcher with interest in design I think you’ll really like this episode.

Next up on the podcast is visual designer Megan Greco! I’m fortunate to call Megan a co-worker and have had the privilege of working with her on a few projects. I’m always super impressed by both at her work at Blink and her personal art.

Enjoy!
