November 15, 2024 Ep113 - Jason Schklar Interview
Another fresh episode and guest this week when I got to sit down with CEO and Founder of the amazing UX Is Fine Mr Jason Schklar! Jason having worked in UX Design for years in multiple large format companies (Microsoft, Amazing etc) finally nailed down the task of starting his own small company and brought together amazing artists and designers to fill the gap of UI and UX work in the Gaming industry.
Having worked with massive companies like Riot Games and Probably Monsters to name a few we found out how it all started and his plans for expansion moving forward but also what it takes to work in this field and how the four day work week and giving a crap really pays off in the long term with your staff (funny that :)
My thanks again to Jason for giving up his time and hope you guys enjoy this episode!
