Owen Lansbury’s Experience

User Experience Director / Managing Partner
<PreviousNext>
(Internet industry)
March 2009 — Present (5 months)
<PreviousNext> is a consultancy I've established with tech guru and long time collaborator, Kim Pepper, to provide high-end user experience, design and development services. This enables me to still work with clients on design-specific projects, whilst leveraging Kim's vast expertise in Java, Ruby on Rails, Drupal and high volume website deployment, and a network of top-tier designers, Flash coders and developers where appropriate.
Clients already include the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Fremantle Media, SBS, EarthHour.org, National Rugby League, State Library of Victoria and a number of interesting start-ups and social-network sites.
As part of <PreviousNext>, we offer specialist Drupal services through http://www.Drupality.com.au. -
Interactive Design Consultant
OwenLansbury.com
(Internet industry)
July 2005 — February 2009 (3 years 8 months)
I work with select clients to develop interactive design projects, encompassing digital brand strategy, information architecture and usability design, visual design, content development and online marketing initiatives.

Creative Director
One Digital
(Public Company; 51-200 employees; Internet industry)
September 2002 — June 2005 (2 years 10 months)
I led a team of Designers, Information Architects and Copywriters, and coordinated a pool of contractors, whilst representing this team on the business unit manager’s board. I led creative and user experience strategy for client projects and coordinated project strategy and resources with account service, project management and technical development teams. I formulated creative team training programs and developed and refined team processes and methodologies. I worked as a senior member of the new business strategy and pitch team and partook in high-level client liaison and consultation. I managed all external production and partnerships, such as printers, photographers and technology partners (e.g. Macromedia, Adobe).

December 2000 — September 2001 (10 months)

Creative Team Lead
Oven Digital
(Internet industry)
October 1998 — August 2000 (1 year 11 months)
As a senior employee, my primary responsibility was for team development and management. In New York I had responsibility for the initiation of a Rich Media Team and played a principal role in pitching these capabilities to prospective clients. I then relocated to Silicon Valley in 1999 to be the lead on a project for InterActiveCorp and stayed behind to develop a local studio and team in San Francisco. In 2000 I returned to Sydney to develop the local office’s client base and to enhance the working methodologies of the local team.

Rich Media Team Lead
Spike
(Public Company; Internet industry)
June 1996 — January 1998 (1 year 8 months)
Joining Spike as employee number four, the early days were very hands-on in all aspects of development. As more people were employed, my interest in emerging online multimedia technologies (Flash, Streaming Media etc.) had me building and leading a division within Spike, resulting in some major firsts for clients such as Toyota, 2UE, Lion Nathan and the Museum of Contemporary Art. In tandem with this role I also acted as a Senior Designer, producing site designs for clients as diverse as CSR, Greater Union and Amnesty International.
