Know Your Arekibian: Louise

Next up on our Know Your Arekibian series is Louise Egan, who joined our team in January as a Digital Project Manager. Louise likes Ancient Greece and Roman history and going to concerts!

1. What was your journey to Arekibo? 
   
   I did an MSc in International Heritage Visualisation at the Glasgow School of Art which gave me a good foundation in Project Management and UX, as well as some interesting technologies such a laser scanning, 3D modelling, photogrammetry and game design. In the years that followed I built on those skills in the companies I worked for. What attracted me to Arekibo was their user centred approach and the variety of projects I could work one.

   “Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible,” — Don Norman, The Design of Everyday Things 

7. Personal motto? 
   
   You don't have to be of the same demographic as someone to dance to the same tune, so open your mind! It will make you richer.
