About Ryan Weisser
I began working in UX design after studying communications and interactive journalism. In the journalism field, many editors and professors talked about the “Why.”- Why is the story important- Why is the story relevant- Why should the reader want to read what you have to say?As a writer, the “why” was always my main focus. I wrote an in-depth feature about millennials returning to Appalachia to shine a light on why young adults from rural Appalachian towns are bucking a decades-old trend of abandoning their hometowns. At a DC-area magazine, I wrote countless “list-icles” of hacks and simple tips to help people live their best lives in the city. My goal as a writer was to learn about what my audience truly wanted to read and how to give them the best reading experience online.As a designer, my focus hasn’t changed much. I remain interested and focused on what people want and expect out of online experiences and why. Ultimately, my goal as a designer is to give people the online experiences they not only want, but didn’t know they needed.
