Hi, I'm Zach Otte! I’m an ex-punk turned proud volleyball dad, an avid music lover (some might say snob), and a seasoned designer with 10+ years of interactive design and story telling under my belt.
Currently I lead the product design team at a cyber-security company called SpiderOak, collaborating with engineers to design and ship stringently secure messaging & collaboration apps that are easy, powerful (and dare I say fun) to use—with the ultimate goal of making digital privacy and security more accessible to all. Previously, at our friendly neighborhood public transit agency (Metro STL) I championed user-centered design practices as an in-house web designer.
When I'm not nudging pixels; I love riding bicycles, hiking amongst the trees with my two daughters, and learning to cook tasty vegetarian dishes. 🚲 🌳 🥕
