Stephen Holmes
Old school UX designer in Canberra, Australia
By way of introduction, I'm a user interface and user experience designer with a dash of information architect. I have a design background working in industry, design agencies, government and education.
Variously, I've been an industrial designer, (career 1), a graphic designer, (career 2), a computer graphics teacher, (career 3), a web producer, (career 4), a front-end developer (career 5), a user-centred design analyst, (career 6) and now a service designer (career 7).
I help people build stuff. Bloody great and exceedingly useful stuff that people can instantly get their stuff done on, using their everyday devices. I can help customers find simplicity and beauty in unbearably complex processes that they just can't grasp until I show them how.
Right now I'm now working with software development companies helping to design their next big thing, and having a good time doing it. I'm also doing pro-bono work for various NGOs and charitable foundations to fill in the gaps that don't get filled in my day job. Stay tuned!
PS: If you look clearly at the background image you will find simplicity in apparent complexity. This image was a key image in my 2006 show that can be viewed on my online gallery (link below).
