about joshlamar
Josh LaMar is a musician and a creative problem solver.
Across over 20 years as a UX professional, I worked in Healthcare, Banking, and Big Tech-spending 12 years at Microsoft as a Principal Design Research Manager working in communication, time management, content consumption, and productivity spaces.
After the, “Best midlife crisis ever,” I quit a successful career at Microsoft to move to Paris, France and study French Language and Poetry.
Acknowledging the toxic effects of burnout lead to new inspiration and healing. Not finding the company I wanted to work in next, I became an entrepreneur and started my own UX Research and Design agency, Amplinate, a cross-cultural, international research agency.
When I'm not helping entrepreneurs and running my company, I enjoy playing the piano, studying languages and poetry in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German, and celebrating my love for food, wine, and travel around the world.
