Google UX Design Professional Certificate

Hello! I’m Branden Middendorf!

I’m a User Experience Designer and Community Manager. Listening and empathy are the two strongest tools to both build interactive content and launch successful communities. What I enjoy the most is working with people and listening to get to the core of a problem to solve.

In the past nine years, I have been the Chairman for the International Game Development Association (IGDA) Cincinnati, managing and helping grow the game development community. I also manage the IGDA - US Midwest as their Regional Coordinator aiding other growing, emerging or established chapters in community growth.
