Austin was my supervisor throughout my year as an intern on the Custom Application team, and I am incredibly grateful for the role he has played in both my academic and professional growth. He consistently motivated me to learn more and take on new challenges, particularly when working on a large-scale custom application. As someone new to UX, Austin’s trust and support in guiding me through user research and design on such a major project were especially impactful. Presenting to large groups and communicating with stakeholders were tasks that initially felt intimidating, but became much more approachable with his encouragement.

Looking for a leader who inspires innovation, empowers teams, and drives results? Let me introduce you to Austin Myers. I had the privilege of working with Austin on major initiative for the university, and it was an exceptional experience. Austin is a rare kind of leader—someone who combines strategic vision with genuine care for his team and partners. From the very beginning, his approach was collaborative, thoughtful, and inspiring.

Austin is the kind of creative leader who elevates the entire team. Over the last three years working under his supervision, I have seen him consistently push for excellence in our design work. He possesses a deep, mastery-level understanding of the User-Centered Design process, and under his guidance, my own understanding of UCD has deepened significantly, even with my previous experience in the field.
