Hello Friends!
My name is Jordan smith and I’m a UX Designer and Software Engineer with 5 years of experience in the tech industry working with companies like Microsoft and Linkedin.
I love the experience of experiencing! Seeing people interact with products that are easy to understand and simple to use is just about the best thing in the world. I hope to continue creating beautiful and intuitive things.
​
When I'm not designing or programming, you can find me at the roller rink or on the dance floor vibing to house music. I'm also an obsessive film nerd. Please talk to me about movies!
