Andy Braren is a Principal Product Designer at Red Hat who likes making stuff that helps people solve problems and feel more organized, capable, and happy. He joined Red Hat straight out of Tufts University where he studied Engineering Psychology / Human Factors and turned his hobbies around software development, interaction design, and physical prototyping into an interdisciplinary club focused on design thinking, product design, and making cool stuff like BB-8 droids and Oreo de-creamers. He continued his education to explore the intersection of K-12 education and engineering, and is continuing to live at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and design at Red Hat.
