You know that rare breed of tech-savvy visionary who actually gets people? That's AJ Patterson.

With over two decades of experience in digital strategy, human-centered design, and product innovation, AJ has built a career that's as dynamic as the technologies she works with. She's the founder of heyZensei (heyzensei.com), a Los Angeles-based Digital Design Studio that helps organizations dream smarter, build better, and make tech that actually makes lives better.
