Keitha Leah Madison
UX/Process Designer
I’ve used my anthropology degree from Boise State to become a UX/Process Designer. The skillset necessary aligns perfectly with my degree, and I love my job! The biggest challenge is communicating the value and applicability to those in a position to hire; however, if they’re not able to make the connection, I wouldn’t really want to work for them anyway.
