I'm Ryan Young (he/him): Sr. Director of Product & Design at P3+Uplift in Des Moines, Iowa. I’m also a certified OOUX strategist and an active mentor and community contributor. I like to geek out about everything from behavioral psychology to front-end code, but what I enjoy most is connecting the dots across teams, tools, and disciplines.
