Sup. I'm Stephen DeLorme.
I'm a designer and technologist. Solving problems in complex, technical spaces is my happy place. I bring a systems-oriented approach and a strong eye for visual design. I also enjoy supporting teams—whether that's contributing at the leadership level or mentoring designers. My current focus is advocating for thoughtful, accessible bitcoin experiences.
Work I'm proud of
Global money infrastructure, built with Bitcoin. I work on product design, branding, and sharing dank memes with my colleagues.
Bitcoin UX principles, expressed as code and packaged for AI. I work on UI design, coding, and AI wrangling.
Institutional custody services for bitcoin. I set them up with a brand and a website to get them going.
Winner of a Human Rights Foundation bounty, as the first to implement the human readable address, (BIP-353) in a live wallet. I handled design, frontend, and deployment
The OG computer company with a penchant for design. I directed and animated some of the weirdest and coolest IBM videos of all time.
Cutting-edge polymers and precision optics for human eyes. I worked on motion graphics and editing for tradeshows and a web series.
Brands I've worked with
Background
I'm a designer + developer with deep creative roots. I first learned to use digital art tools and write code when I was in middle school, so my path in life was clear. I graduated from the Graphic Design Program at Georgia State University, and since then I have done design work in a variety of contexts: in-house design team, design agency, freelance consultancy, and open source design.
While based in Atlanta, GA, I have had the pleasure of working with clients all across the globe, ranging from consumer to business and delivering projects for every platform from broadcast TV to the phone in your hands. I do my best work bringing simplicity and joy to technical ideas. I'm excited about the future of bitcoin and AI and looking forward to making it beautiful.
