About Edwin Choate

I'm a user experience (UX) designer at TaxSlayer and I'm based out of Atlanta, GA. Within the realm of UX, I am especially interested in usability, information architecture, wireframing, and prototyping. I'm also passionate about things like humane technology and issues such as misinformation on the internet and data privacy. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, listening to folk & americana music, retro 8-bit video games, and playing my acoustic guitar.
