Stuart Sherwood About me

How can I, help you, help your customers?

Passion, skill and experience. I have plenty of each. I have deep skills in UI, usability, WCAG accessibility, rapid html prototyping, mobile first responsive web, HTML5 and CSS3.

I'm honest, I love experimentation and rich, meaningful UX design. Combine this with my broad experience designing for data rich applications on multiple platforms in an agile workflow, I'm the perfect person to help design your awesome product.

I'm proud to have helped La Trobe University become so successful in the highly competitive tertiary education space. Read some of the praise received below.

Case Studies

My Strengths

In search of the happy medium between user goals and business requirements, I enjoy the iteration process of learning, collaborating, testing and refining. I'm most empowered when collaboration is seamless with a willingness to test ideas rapidly so everyone can be brought along the journey. I like to showcase learnings early and often.

My aim is to always seek insights to help engage users, remove pain points, improve metrics and maintain accessibility.

Prototyping is where I shine. I consider semantics, accessibility and usability as I go, and take full advantage of the responsive, animated, native environment to add the necessary level of fidelity for testing.

From: Matthew Campbell-Burns Sent: Friday, 24 November 2017 2:51 PM Subject: Website feedback Hi guys, Thought I’d share with you some unsolicited positive feedback relating to our web that popped up on Twitter last Friday. Regards, Matthew Campbell-Burns Manager, Strategy and Operational Channels Hi team, Great feedback about our mobile website. This is all yours Stuart Sherwood! Thanks for you expertise and dedication to mobile first and responsive design in everything we do on the website. Cheers, Sue Howley Manager, Business Analysis Team Enterprise Applications, ICT La Trobe University
I just wanted to forward on some feedback from a student that attended our Advisory Event yesterday. I met a boy by the name of Byron who had traveled from Sydney because he is super keen on studying Event Management and Marketing at La Trobe. La Trobe popped up on his radar for two reasons….one – the Aspire program and two….our amazing website. He said it was the best website out of any university he has seen and commended us on the usability of our website. He even borrowed an iPad to show me other universities webpages and why they aren’t functional. I wanted to make sure that this was passed onto you both and your relevant teams – it’s always fantastic to hear these things first hand. Great job! Warm regards, Lorraine Ryan Manager, Undergraduate Student Recruitment
Awesome. Brave. Outstanding - literally. It looks awesome on mobile! I love it. Congratulations Ben McAuliffe (Visual Jazz Isobar – external)
Hi Lisa I wanted to let you know that I managed to have one of our web developers look at the template Stuart has created and his feedback is that it is perfect! I have NEVER had a perfect template sent to me as a first attempt so please pass on my praise to Stuart! Obviously, we will need to add the PageUp People links to the left side menu once these have been finalised so there will be some changes required later down the track, but the actual structure and code behind the link is fantastic! I have everything I need to get the development started on your website which is great news. Cheers Bec Rebecca Achilleos Team Leader - Client Delivery Implementation PageUp People
