From Free Agent to Chief Design Officer
For our Double-O-Seventh episode, it is oh so appropriate to have Jon Myers as our guest. He's an international designer of mystery—living a jet-set life and assassinating design problems with expert marksmanship. We talk to Jon about his 20 years of design experience leading up to his current role as Chief Design Officer at Tokyo and Ho Chi Minh City based crypto trading platform Liquid.
