typing the void

Joseph Ortenzi has been making web sites since 1994, and was always keen on riding the technological wave. Schooled at the University of View Source, he majored in innovation and mistakes, in equal measure, before seeing the light of usability, web standards, user-centred design and semantic markup.

Joseph is now having lots of fun creating and assisting User Experiences as a Senior Consultant at Stamford Interactive. He also keeps pretty busy with things like the Social Media Club, unorganising for barCamp Sydney, planning events for webblast,  prosletysing at the Email Standards Project and shmoozing at the  Sydney Twitter Underground Brigade.

Joseph recently worked at Amnesia, The Inspire Foundation,  Gruden, and  Saatchi & Saatchi in Australia, and  Hoop Associates in London. He created sites and influenced strategy for organisations, like Aussie Home Loans, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Ticketek, Carnival Cruises, Many Australian NSW Agencies, RTA, The Newspaper Works, The Man Booker Prize, Pepsico International, Metropolitan Homes and Crossrail.

He also helps compact organisations make the most of being a Social Business , like PistachioWriting,  Sabrosito, Seavac and SCAN UK as well as several blogs and small sites scattered ’round the webosphere.

You can find him on Twitter, Delicious, LinkedIn, fourSquare, Gowalla and pretty much anywhere else in the internet that lets him have the username wheelyweb.

All the photos in the banner space above are Joseph’s pictures as are all the words and thoughts herein.

He also likes Laksa and hamburgers with beetroot.

Not at the same time, though. That would be strange.

And Little Creatures Ale is pretty nice too. The Justice Lager at his local, the Courthouse, in Newtown, is pretty good, (but the pool table there is wonky), but nothing beats an Aussie sirloin with a good shiraz, should you feel the need to invite him to dinner.

And you should.
