Welcome  to the very first episode of Life at Shopify- a podcast where we chat with the folks who work here because to really get to know Shopify, you have to get to know our people. Today I’ll be chatting with Marki Sveen, who currently works as a Staff UX Developer on our Marketing team. Listen in to hear how Marki pivoted from architecture and marine biology, to eventually a career in web development at Shopify. Please note this correction from Marki: “I found out a few months ago that Tessa Thorton didn’t do the Humber program, I only thought she did it.”
