Bio
Josh Smith
I worked directly under Joel for nearly 4 years. having come into L&C to start the UX practice, Joel was my biggest advocate and a champion for UX within the agency. Together we formed Loud&Clear's XD team, a collection of wonderful and talented humans. The highest compliment I can give Joel, is that his passion and love for his team was why we had such low attrition and equally why our culture was so strong and unique. Joel deeply cares about his teams, recognising their individual stregnths and value. A value I love in Joel is that he is humble enough to seek guidance from his entire team. A trait that empowered those around him. I wouldn't be where I am today without Joel mentorship and leadership and thank him for his passion and commitment to my craft of UX.

I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Joel for over a year. He is an exceptional thought-leader in strategy, experience, design and content. Joel is able to take a client’s vision and create a meaningful, engaging experience wrapped in elegant design. He has developed a world class team of experience design professionals that work passionately to transform digital products and their experiences. Under his leadership, the team delivered five bespoke customer experiences, two new digital products, a living style guide and an entire website and marketing comms redesign that met all WCAG 2.0 guidelines in less than 6 months for a key client. Even more impressive than the delivery, was the fact that all of the work was designed in an agile environment and backed by customer research which informed MVPs and product roadmaps. Joel worked collaboratively across the business and executive team to ensure success and achieve the maximum customer and business value. His work was the catalyst to major transformation in a $300 million program and enabled the digital teams to significantly exceed shareholder expectations. Joel is an absolute champion and I would highly recommend seizing any opportunity to work with him and his talented team.
