Coming up: Meet Deshaun
16Some of you may have noticed already, we have a user experience designer @Deshaun who joined Mediocre recently.
I know it has been a while since I interviewed our staff members, but would like to start again.
Let’s find out who he is and what he does at Mediocre, and what else he can share besides his Atlanta recommendations.
Post your questions here, I’ll ask him for you!
