Steven Hoober

Strategist, architect, and designer for every screen

Steven Hoober wrote the book on mobile design patterns, and is best known for his ongoing research into how people really use touchscreen phones and tablets. He has been doing mobile and multi-channel design since 1999, designing the earliest mobile app store and the first Google mobile search for Sprint, several mobile browsers, many mobile sites such as Weather.com, and apps for companies like Hallmark, US Bank and Cummins. Steven maintains a repository of mobile design and development information including all the content from Designing Mobile Interfaces at the 4ourth Mobile Patterns Wiki, regularly writes for UX Matters magazine, and UX Magazine, among other writing and speaking.

Speaking Policy

As you may have noticed, I will happily share information with anyone. I'd love to come to your conference, workshop series, or other event. But, since I have spent so much time on this over the last few years, there are some guidelines. For public events:

  • I will make a presentation with you, for your audience and their skill level and interests.
  • I only really speak English. If not all your attendees are fluent in it, tell me so I can deliver the deck early with extra words for translation, so everyone can follow along a little better.
  • I will go anywhere, at almost any time. Check with me first to make sure it fits my schedule, but in general I do everything first-come, first-served.
  • I have no fixed fees. I don't demand money to account for notional lost business or anything.
  • I will not loose money on the deal. You have to cover my travel expenses, lodging and a reasonable fee for meals outside the event. I don't care how: Give me enough honorarium to cover it, let me turn in receipts for reimbursement or you arrange the travel yourself. This can include picking me up at the airport vs paying for a cab. I don't have any demands aside from those listed.

If you want me to come talk to or train your company, in such a way there should probably be an NDA, you should contact me to arrange this as a piece of paid work, and to make sure it addresses the specific needs of your organization.

Quotes About How Awesome I am

"It’s possible that Steven Hoober has done more research than any one human being on mobile and in his presentation, Tools for Mobile UX Design and How People Really Hold and Touch he definitely provided the data proving it! I recommend that anyone who is doing mobile design watch this presentation, which provides great heuristics to keep in mind in terms of text size, visible target, finger size, design by zones and more. He also has for sale on his website, 4ourth.com, a great little tool, which enables UX designers to evaluate their mobile design based upon actual text and finger size!" Lisa L. Trager

Other Online Resources

Slideshare and YouTube also include items on land navigation and sensors, but just ignore those.

Mostly for me, in case I need another promotional ones. These are approved by my wife as things where I don't look stupid and am not doing something (mostly: shooting) that would offend some people.
