Show notes:
This month's guest is UX sound designer Harrison Zafrin who, in his words, "nobody cares more about 8ms sound effects." Harrison works to design sound for multi-sensory interactions on technological devices. I was extra excited to talk to Harrison because he does not work with robots, but the crossover in his professional skillset was seriously illuminating for me.
