Jacob Scarani

UX Designer, Philadelphia

I am a UX designer based in Philadelphia. I studied Human-Centered Computing at RIT, with a minor in Japanese that led to a semester at Nanzan University and an internship in Tokyo.

I've worked on mature enterprise products in contract management, physical security, and research administration. Most of my projects involve restructuring workflows that grew complex over time.

Outside of design work, I hike, attend concerts, and play video games. I'm also learning the drums.
