Ryan Wilson is a Product Designer on the Day of Travel Team at Alaska Airlines in Seattle Washington. Ryan stopped by the Funsize studio to talk about how Alaska gets people from point A to point B, designing a holistic experience, building trust in your design team, and why he's adamant about being a lifelong learner.
On this episode we discuss:
- Design in the airline industry and at Alaska Airlines

- User research and advocating for your customers in all you do
- How context should inform your product, design, and the user experience
