About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Theo Tzankov and I am a recent graduate from the Human Centered Design & Engineering program at the University of Washington. I grew up in Kenmore, Washington, 20 minutes North West of Seattle. I am a big sports fan and played Soccer for 12 years of my life. My hobbies include hiking, playing soccer recreationally, and I just recently started flying FPV drones. I have been in the HCDE program for two years, in which I have learned about various user research techniques, user prototyping, and front end web development. I was an active member of Phi Kappa Sigma Alpha Upsilon chapter where I learned the foundations of brotherhood and honor through social activities and philanthropy.
