Learning about User Experience with Thomas Watkins, Principal and Founder of 3 Leaf
Thomas Watkins started out studying psychology, was interested in cognitive psychology, then got accepted to George Mason University’s Human Factors program (the original name for UX).
He continued his studies after that but really didn’t have a career goal. Then he started working at PROS, where he began working with the software. After his time at PROS, Thomas went into consulting and fell in love with working with startups, where he felt he had more strategic influence over what a product could be. This led Thomas to create his own consulting company, 3Leaf, where the focus is to combine technology with design psychology in order to drive business success.
“To start out, get good at something”
“Fall in love with the trade, the craft”
“Go deep before you go wide – so you can join a team and add value”
