Simon Bloom
I bring passion, excitement, and pathological attention to detail to every project. Bloomindesign has been the name I've designed under for over 20 years.
Every day is a learning day; the next project always builds on the last. From illustration to UX, from agencies to Atlassian, from Sydney to the Isle of Man. It's been quite a journey.
[All-In on AI]
I'm fully committed to the AI revolution, whether it's building apps with AI or building apps that use AI. Modern AI doesn't replace creativity; it amplifies it, allowing me to explore more possibilities and deliver faster than ever.
This conviction led me to found Volume11.ai, a company dedicated to bringing AI-enhanced capabilities to creative and development workflows. It's where 20+ years of UX expertise meets cutting-edge technology.
