Jack Taylor– Product & Interaction Designer

Hi, my names Jack Taylor.

I'm currently, 7+ years working at SAP and recently relocated to Southern California for a small incubation team called Eureka.

I have a background in designing beautiful and functional applications. My current focus areas include Medical, Health & Wellness, Transportation & Urban Mobility, eCommerce, and Product Mgmt. (just to name a few) You'll find some fun process shots in my sketchbook .

Outside of my work you can find me either running around, surfing, covering classics with my guitar, traveling, or quite possibly petting your dog.

Currently reading or talking about:

IoT ColdChain

Augmented Reality Prototyping

Virtual Reality Design Exercises
