Check out our new episode with Amber Stickel! We have a brand-new format as well so tell me what you think!

Amber is a designer and developer who was actually working for IBM at the time of this recording. Now, she is a design technologist at Indeed; the job search company. 

I wanted to  talk to her because I was curious how a large company like IBM deals  with the web today. What I love most about this interview is listening to her gush over creating designs and bringing them to life. She has a gift for making web development fun so don't  miss out on this episode.
