First, a shout out to @walnut1 for telling me about Steemit!
I'm a 27 year old UX/UI designer living in Philadelphia. I just started checking out Utopian.io. I'm hoping to help out with some of what you see around here, when I find myself with some free time! It's off to a great start, but I think I may be able to provide some further assistance. Go open source communities!
I have a very rewarding job at an open source (Drupal) agency, where I lead a small team of designers shifting our services to be more focused on content strategy. I conduct user testing sessions & card sorting exercises, make user journey maps, and spend a good portion of my day wireframing away. I have yet to get sick of moving around grayscale boxes and text.
Dis be me:
This is what Philly looks like for those who haven't been.
...Ok, it's Finland.
Which leads me to (fairly typical) things I look forward to most: travel and hiking. A tiny portion of my days are spent counting them down until my next trip. I try to go one cool place in the states, and one cool place internationally every year. This year was Finland for my friend's wedding, and a few cities nearby like Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Tallinn. My domestic trip was exploring the canyons of Utah and Arizona.
Here's my view from the top of Zion Park in Utah:
My friend and I are looking into Chile/Patagonia next!
In the meantime, I'll keep hiking/camping around the northeast and my backyard when I can. My backyard is the Wissahickon park in Philadelphia. I hike with my pup, Zappa, back there often.
Here's a nice little picture of it from the fall:
And Zappa taking a dip back there:
He's a goober.
Aside from all that business, I keep up on a lot of music-related things. Favorites lately are: Nils Frahm, Real Estate, Bibio, The Growlers, and some key jazz ladies like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
Later Steemit folks!
