Manny Ikomi
b'I love that Manny Ikomi has adopted a philosophy of \\u201clift as you climb\\u201d as it relates to his career. Manny works as a UX design consultant for IBM iX, but he\\u2019s also a design educator and even streams some of his personal web development and UX projects on Twitch. It was great chatting it up and learning about how he balances his work with community outreach.\\n\\nWe started off diving into Manny\\u2019s journey from discovering interactive design and UX, to hitting a career ceiling and pursuing further education. Manny also spoke about teaching at his alma mater, his aspirations on working for public sector institutions, and his podcast Gay, Geeky + Tired. Hopefully Manny\\u2019s story will inspire you to make a positive impact in the world!'
