More Than This

About this blog: I’m Josh Seiden. This blog began as my personal video blog. I recently broadened the focus to a wider range of topics, but it’s still about things that interest me. Video, music, the creative process. Since I work in User Experience, I expect there will be a fair amount of that shaken over as well.

About Josh: Josh Seiden is a designer who has spent most of his career working on the design of complex software applications. Over the course of 20 years working in technology Josh has developed specialities that include interaction design, service design, and user experience design in agile software development environments.

Most recently, Josh was responsible for the Experience Group at Liquidnet, an electronic brokerage firm serving the institutional investment community. The Experience Group was a unique combination of Customer Experience, Marketing and Design teams who worked closely together to design and market Liquidnet’s product and service offerings.

Previously, he was the founder and President of 36 Partners, a NYC interaction design and user experience consulting firm. In the 90′s, Josh served on the leadership team at Cooper Interaction Design-one of the premier user experience consulting firms, and the leader of the interaction design movement. At Cooper, Josh worked on projects for clients such as IBM and 3M, and managed Cooper’s SAP account. During that time, he designed a wide range of hardware and software products, producing designs for health care systems, supply chain management tools, marketing automation and CRM systems, and meeting room tools.

He has led training seminars in Cooper’s goal-directed design methodology, organized the speaker series for IxDA NYC, and presented case studies and papers at a range of conferences.
