KARL SCOTT
BACKGROUND I am very excited about User Experience. I want to help businesses make products more effective
as well as enjoyable to use. As a Personal Trainer, understanding various best practices (and there
are many) leads to individuals and groups excelling well beyond their expectation. The pivoting
and application of this approach to User Experience research and design is my ultimate goal.
