About
Don Osborne
Growing up in North Carolina, I had a passion for building things like toys and RC cars. My first computer was a PC in 1995, but I was disappointed by how difficult it was to use. A year later, I discovered the Mac with its user-friendly design and was captivated by the world of technology. This led to interests in desktop publishing, art, film, and web design, which ultimately led to my calling in UX.
Career
Passionate about design and technology, I started building websites in high school in 1996. I went to university for graphic design & multimedia, then found video editing. I was inspired to attend film school which led me to Los Angeles in 2005 as an assistant editor. Despite my focus on film, I seized an opportunity to join a startup as a UI designer in 2010. Over the years, I've honed my skills in research, user testing, information architecture, and prototyping to become a well-rounded designer. In 2017, I took on the role of managing other designers, sharing my knowledge and guiding them towards successful careers in design.
