Summary
Joshua Holmes is a CX Design Lead in Melbourne with 10 years of experience blending user-centered design, design ops and hands-on product delivery across retail, telecoms and emergency management. He’s known for cutting complexity—consolidating processes, UI kits and documentation to boost team efficiency—and for driving measurable outcomes like a 30+ point NPS uplift and large conversion gains. A natural situational leader, Joshua pairs empathy and transparency with tactical grit developed through frontline emergency roles (former RFS Deputy Captain, current St John Ambulance regional manager) that inform his calm decision‑making under pressure. He builds inclusive teams, decentralises design authority to empower practitioners, and actively creates upskilling opportunities while still diving into prototypes and research himself. Unexpectedly, his track record includes coordinating large-scale event medical operations and sleeping under a tarp as a teen—experiences that help him stay resilient, curious and relentless about improving systems.
