Keaton Hart, currently a senior at Purdue University, majoring in UX Design and minoring in psychology, hopes to bring more alignment and organization to the world. The basis of UX orbits around interfaces and products being perfect for the user, which is something Keaton can achieve aptly.

Furthermore, Keaton doesn’t submit work unless it’s undeniably presentable and ready; even if he’s sure it’s good, he’ll double, triple, and quadruple check before submissions.
When Keaton isn’t involved in work, he would rather solve puzzles (physical, metal or on-paper puzzles), go skiing, or simply hang out with his friends. He is boosted by social interaction, something that he holds dear to himself. He loves to meet new people and hear their stories, which not only helps people feel more comfortable around him, but it also helps broaden his understanding of different cultures and helps improve his interpersonal techniques.
