About Edwin Choate

I'm a user experience (UX) designer at TaxSlayer and I'm based out of Atlanta, GA. Within the UX field, I'm especially interested in usability, accessibility, and prototyping. I'm an active member of The Interaction Design Association (IxDA) and Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF). In my spare time I enjoy reading, folk music, retro video games, and playing my acoustic guitar.
