FYPC008: Will Hansen, Experience Design at Intuit

Will Hansen is an experience design manager and visual product lead at Intuit on the TurboTax team. He’s a creative to the core but he wasn’t always in the creative field. In fact, Will joined the military after high school where he worked as a dental assistant. When he decided to start college at the age of 31, Will first followed the dental career trajectory only to realize that it wasn’t for him. “This isn’t my passion, this isn’t my path, and quite frankly I don’t want to look in mouths the rest of my life,” said Will. He decided to switch paths entirely and go into visual arts, an early passion of his, by attending the Art institute. “I think there’s nothing to be ashamed of by following your heart and your gut by changing majors.” Find out how Will made the switch from dentistry to visual design and landed his dream job at Intuit.
