Travis Tester


Travis Tester works for MyCare Integrated Software Solutions as a healthcare Data Analyst and formerly taught at Oklahoma City University as an instructor for Studio Design courses (Graphic Design, Publication Design, and Web Design), as well as teaching as an educator at the University of Central Oklahoma (as in ACM@UCO) specializing in Digital Media and Business Management courses. He has culminated an associate’s degree in applied sciences, and later obtained his Bachelors degree in applied technologies. After receiving his Bachelor’s degree from UCO, Travis shifted gears and moved into the design industry. Over the course of a couple of years as a branding, identity, packaging, and web designer, he discovered the phenomenon that is Data Visualization and has not since looked back.


Marrying his love of design and business together with making things beautiful, it is the perfect intersection of his skills and passions, at the crossroad of creativity and commerce. Outside of work, Travis likes to exercise, study computer science, read books, play video games, and enjoy date nights with his spouse.


He is also QPR certified and also volunteers and helps fund-raise for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention (AFSP). If you would like to connect with him, he is active on Instagram and LinkedIn. He lives in downtown Oklahoma City with his wife, Bri, and their three cats, Bear, Tang, and Kimchi.
