<p>Andrea studied fine art at <a href="https://msu.edu/">Michigan State</a> and human-computer interaction at the <a href="https://www.umich.edu/">University of Michigan</a>. One day, while working at the school library, it was discovered that she could make websites — which launched her career as a UX designer, and since 2012 she’s been designing apps at Omni.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Andrea, it must be told, is firmly against stealing money from puppies — or maybe she’s against treating puppies as a particularly cuddly form of currency and then stealing <em>them</em>.</p>
|
|
<p>Nobody knows which. Don’t do either!</p>
|
|
<p>You can find Andrea <a href="https://twitter.com/amcvittie">@amcvittie</a> on Twitter. And you can find her work in every single Omni app.</p>

<p>Curt Clifton came to Omni while on sabbatical from his computer science professorship at <a href="http://www.rose-hulman.edu/">Rose-Hulman</a> — and never went back. He’s spent much of his six years at Omni on the <a href="https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus">OmniFocus</a> team, where he clicks checkboxes for a living.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Curt’s a fan of the local <a href="https://www.soundersfc.com/">association football team</a>. He also likes woodworking and distance-running, though he has yet to explore the synergistic possibilities of doing both at the same time.</p>

<p>For our first episode we interview Kristina Sontag, who runs Omni’s test department — a group tireless, fearless, and strikingly effective in its hunt for bugs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Kristina got her start playing games for a living at <a href="http://lucasfilm.com/games">LucasArts</a>. Between there and today she’s also worked on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/19970105135152/http://www.edmark.com/">educational software</a>, gotten a pilot’s license, volunteered for <a href="http://appcamp4girls.com/">App Camp for Girls</a>, and helped organize the <a href="https://www.weareecs.com/">Emerald City Supporters</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>When she’s not doing everything else, she’s playing <a href="https://www.destinythegame.com/">Destiny</a>. She may even be thinking about Destiny at this very moment.</p>
