I&#8217;m Jacob, and I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re here to learn about me and the work I&#8217;ve done as a designer. Much of this portfolio was built during the end of my time at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management. During school, I&#8217;ve had engineering internships with a variety of different Nebraska companies. Though I am primarily geared toward the development and engineering side of software and interfaces, I&#8217;ve created this portfolio to highlight my achievements in learning design, as I believe design is an absolutely crucial step in ensuring that users actually use the products a developer builds. My primary design values, which carry over in part from my engineering background, are simplicity and efficiency, as I believe that streamlining processes so that users don&#8217;t need to puzzle out how to use a product or an interface is extremely important, and it is one of the primary things I personally look for when I use interfaces designed by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download my resume here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-236dd254-27ba-473e-ad14-c770f142f3a5\" href=\"http:\/\/jacobmann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Jacob-Mann-2021-8_16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jacob Mann 2021 8_16<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/jacobmann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Jacob-Mann-2021-8_16.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-236dd254-27ba-473e-ad14-c770f142f3a5\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-linkedin  wp-block-social-link\"><a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jacobmann99\/\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M19.7,3H4.3C3.582,3,3,3.582,3,4.3v15.4C3,20.418,3.582,21,4.3,21h15.4c0.718,0,1.3-0.582,1.3-1.3V4.3 C21,3.582,20.418,3,19.7,3z M8.339,18.338H5.667v-8.59h2.672V18.338z M7.004,8.574c-0.857,0-1.549-0.694-1.549-1.548 c0-0.855,0.691-1.548,1.549-1.548c0.854,0,1.547,0.694,1.547,1.548C8.551,7.881,7.858,8.574,7.004,8.574z M18.339,18.338h-2.669 v-4.177c0-0.996-0.017-2.278-1.387-2.278c-1.389,0-1.601,1.086-1.601,2.206v4.249h-2.667v-8.59h2.559v1.174h0.037 c0.356-0.675,1.227-1.387,2.526-1.387c2.703,0,3.203,1.779,3.203,4.092V18.338z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Link to author&#039;s LinkedIn account<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
