Hugh is a UX/UI Designer with a background in computer science and business. He believes in well-considered, useful design grounded in an understanding of the people affected by it and a strong theoretical base. This need to understand first is what motivates him, and he strives for design that is an honest embodiment of the supporting research. One of the reasons he chose UX is for its highly social element – beyond working in teams, the opportunity to learn about people is something that he really values. He finds himself using design as a way to interrogate certain aspects of the lives around him, as well as his own.
