About Gordon

Gordon has been leading the design and delivery of high-impact websites, web applications, and intranets since 1996. He has been instrumental in leading the development of our service design offering and has spoken internationally on service design in government. Gordon blends his interest in user-centred design and ethnography, with a passion for understanding the role technology plays inside organizations and in society at large. His value lies in bridging the gap between theory and practice in an accessible manner.

Gordon is passionate about the ideas surrounding communications, complexity, ethnography, service design, social network analysis, theory of technology, urban planning, and how the collision of these ideas can help organizations thrive and make work better. He has spoken at conferences like Service Design in Government, Converge, InFlux, SXSW, Digital Strategy Vancouver, the Social Intranet Summit, LegalIT, Enterprise 2.0, World IA Day, and has lectured locally at various educational institutions. Gordon is a co-founder and organizer of the Vancouver User Experience Group. He is a certified Cognitive Edge practitioner, has served on the Board of the Vancouver Public Library, and is a lifelong road cyclist.

Gordon will be leading a panel of eight judges, and overseeing the judging for the 2023 Awards.

We believe Gordon’s extensive experience and knowledge will bring unique perspectives to the judging process, and is also a valuable asset to this year’s awards. We are honoured to have Gordon to join as our Jury Chair for the 2023 Van UX Awards!
