Attainment can be viewed at a national or state level and a number of scenarios can be explored among age groups, while the target year can be adjusted to better understand what it would take to accelerate the attainment goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1572224873592-XQ1SNWVO8BBPG8GEKOUG/cover.jpg Past Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1573157430380-7MT711KWK9ZJKGXMVTLT/splash.png Past Work - Where the Employment Opportunities Exist AARP needed a way to understand how age 50+ workers could fill in-demand jobs at a national and state level. This tool allows AARP workers to identify which jobs are in demand in their state and understand how skills possessed in related occupations could transfer to these areas of opportunity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1573161102144-9ETUU4US385HAQ6IK5TV/Map+tooltip.png Past Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1573159836410-4EBCAB8COV9KEABUT8VK/observation-tooltip.png Past Work This work helps explain how work done by UCLA’s Galactic Center Group is led by the Principal Investigator and Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Dr. Andrea Ghez proves the general theory of relativity. It provides an easy to understand explanation of the significance of a star named S0-2, of which astronomers have observed shifts in color of light during its 16-year orbit. These shifts are the result of light being bent by the gravity of a supermassive black hole, the star orbits. This bending of light is also inconsistent with classical laws of physics and provides direct evidence in support of Einstein’s theory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1646255725631-6NYGKJ00SYUNMMSI8H9C/Air%2BCheck%2BHero%2BCalendar%2BOpen.jpg Past Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1647237911626-EVH089JNT588CCE97AEK/OD-1683+Season+Support+01.png Past Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1676478637892-CHLMRPD9100E3PHT2A8C/Hero.png Past Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1676478802536-MUMD6JO60K214PZ08HZE/Hero.jpg Past Work https://www.alpinistastudio.com/new-index daily 1.0 2024-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1646257688062-8LQWSVBFAOZLDEVKODT6/Playout%2BHero%2BCS%2BTile.jpg Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1646257798361-GT40XIZWYFLECHUOPRW3/Geo%252BTargeting%252BCS%252BTile.jpg Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1688336526737-P3SPTI80UGJRBW7JIP0Y/beartooth_cover_bg2.png Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1688443741677-4N6B3KT9JLESROAZC9U5/06HeatMap.png Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1720891796873-X9URS7LXYFW5H119805X/Onboarding+-+Project+Tile+2.png Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1720997374297-O4OESSNKSSNPTHGBHBL4/Toothio+App+Tile.png Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1721614572583-94D4OO6GNXDOFLSVKLE2/Jobs+Board+-+Project+Tile+2.png Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1721614617689-85I6P37QNCLGZAZUCJAA/Dashboard+-+Project+Tile.png Case Studies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1721674608651-SLHUZXYSNK6QB11RBU67/Toothio+Onboarding+Tile.png Case Studies https://www.alpinistastudio.com/about daily 0.75 2023-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf083e132959600019954e6/1567087372400-3JXGMKTTU5I5DLKTUBXK/DA2A2100b.jpg About - Jacob O’Brien Over a decade of experience in the design industry as a Product and User Experience Designer for B2B SaaS platforms at Sendoso, Audacy, and WideOrbit. Experience as a team lead and Design Director at Periscopic. And workshop and design thinking facilitator as a Senior Designer at XPLANE. I have always had a curiosity for complex systems, and sought to understand the connections between the world we live in and our relationship with it. Over my career I have gained strong skillset for navigating ambiguity, validating hypothesis, and communicating solutions while bringing empathy for the end-user to my design process. Human centered design, storytelling, and collaboration are at the core of my design practice. In my free time, I love to explore the world around me. My passions outside work include, gardening, biology, ecology, backpacking, running, yoga, and backcountry skiing.
