Jose Ramirez

Hi I am José Ramirez, a first generation Mexican-American that grew up in a lively community, one that inspired curiosity and gave me the freedom to explore. Soccer, movies, travel, music, I tried it all. Thankfully the need to impress a girl with my sick coding skills, brought me to the world of interaction design.

I see how technology has the ability to solve real problems and want to push the boundaries of doing it in the most creative way. Whether I’m mixing AR/VR with IOT or combining physical projections with mobile applications, I love exploring the possibilities of digital and physical interactions. I want to be on a fast-paced team, throwing myself in and designing experiences that will blow people’s minds.
