Jared Christensen’s Summary
Jared is a quiet fellow with strong opinions. As an all-round user experience designer, Jared makes sure that interfaces are human-friendly, emotive, aesthetically pleasing, clear, on-brand and usable – with a touch of mellow smoothness. He also fancies himself to be somewhat of a writer, but sadly he has little to say.
