Planning is well underway for the 6th annual Vancouver User Experience Awards, and we’re excited to update you all with a few changes and new opportunities as we gear up for this year’s Awards season.
Meet the Team: Gordon Ross
Vancouver is a great place to be a UX practitioner. Gordon Ross—Co-Founder and Vice President of OpenRoad—attributes this to the strength of local education programs, a thriving startup ecosystem, established independent agencies, and the presence of global tech companies. Together, these things offer UX practitioners a lot of a opportunity to experience variety in their work.
