Travis Avery, User Experience Designer

Innovation is born from hate but raised with love.

It’s nice to meet you, my name is Travis Avery; I am a User Experience Designer, Graphic Artist, and Motion Designer, based in San Diego, California.

I have been working in various design positions in the software development industry since 2002; I always like to say that they put me in a cubicle and told me to think outside of the box.

Biography

I was born Easter Sunday, Earth Day, in the spring of 1984. I am just about the most average person on the planet, and yet I am still known as being eccentric with a slight rebellious streak. Even as a child I would send papers back to my teachers completely re-designed so they would be much more intuitive. As a teenager, I designed and built my first website as a way for me and get into comic-con for free. I may have over a decade of professional experience, but I have been a Designer for my entire life.
