Hoekema Design & Editorial (HDE) is the consulting business of Jim Hoekema, an interaction designer, information architect, writer and editor.
The content here generally predates 2008, when I put my consulting business on the back burner and took a full-time position at Accenture, in a group known as the User Experience Group, then Accenture Experience Agency, and finally Fjord. In March 2016, I stepped down from that role.
During my seven+ years with Accenture, I had the pleasure of working on 33 client projects, traveling to 20 cities, and designing for a variety of industries and platforms (including web, mobile, kiosk & car). Most of those projects were proprietary, but a selection of scrubbed remnants may be seen in the "portfolio" PDF (right).
In one capacity or another, I have provided interactive design, information architecture and usability services for:
- Large corporations such as Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Philips, IBM, AT&T, LG, Pepsi, Caterpillar, Halliburton, Visa, Bose, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Takeda, Duke Energy, Exelon, Comcast, Rogers Telecom, and others.
- Major nonprofits such as the Smithsonian Institution, National Geographic, National Park Service, Educational Testing Service, the Getty Institute, and the Museum of Modern Art.
- Small businesses (recruiting firm, bed & breakfast, two real-estate firms, law firm, visual artist, bindery)
- Smaller nonprofits (Habitat for Humanity, Newburgh Preservation Association, Dutch Reformed Church Restoration Committee)
- Government (Newburgh NY, Toronto, California, Massachusetts).
