Jacob O’Brien
Over a decade of experience in the design industry as a Product and User Experience Designer for B2B SaaS platforms at Sendoso, Audacy, and WideOrbit. Experience as a team lead and Design Director at Periscopic. And workshop and design thinking facilitator as a Senior Designer at XPLANE. I have always had a curiosity for complex systems, and sought to understand the connections between the world we live in and our relationship with it.
Over my career I have gained strong skillset for navigating ambiguity, validating hypothesis, and communicating solutions while bringing empathy for the end-user to my design process. Human centered design, storytelling, and collaboration are at the core of my design practice.
In my free time, I love to explore the world around me. My passions outside work include, gardening, biology, ecology, backpacking, running, yoga, and backcountry skiing.
