About

Stephen Horner

I had my first contact with a user interface around the age of seven. My first reaction was to play the “dragging and dropping system folders” game. I’ve learnt a little bit more about computers since then, but the joy of discovering new things with them every day is still there.

I got interested in graphic design in high school, and completed a Dip. of Computer Graphic Design in 2006. After my course I did some design tutoring before joining Clemenger Group‘s highly respected direct agency Aim Proximity in early 2007 where our team concepted, designed and developed a variety of digital communications for our clients.

In August 2009 I said goodbye to New Zealand and moved to Germany to explore Europe. I joined multi-disciplinary design agency COSALUX to strengthen their digital offering in the creation of online and interactive installation work.

You can learn more about the skills, tools, programming languages and awards I’ve picked it up along the way below, or see who recommends me on LinkedIn.
