In this episode we get to speak with Sr. Experience Designer: Paul Hershey. We talk about the day-to-day tasks of a designer in the gaming industry, and what it takes to get there.

About Paul

I help people create human-centered products that users love. I have over ten years of experience in the field and have worked with the U.S. Army, Infor, Code School, and Pluralsight. I enjoy every stage of the design process from initial research and competitive analysis to building visual languages and analyzing data. I’m on the board for AIGA Orlando and regularly speak about UX at conferences and meetups.
