Dr StepH Cloete

Dr Steph Cloete is a veteran UX and multimedia design researcher and lecturer. He has over 15 years worth of experience in coaching, art direction, corporate communication, and creative problem solving.

He has a rare combination of skills and majored in five disciplines while completing his BA in Graphic Design, namely: art history, illustration, graphic design, communication studies, psychology, and industrial psychology. He put this background to good use to complete both his MA (UNISA) and PhD (NWU) and wrote extensively about the reciprocal forces that exist between society and the visual media society creates to makes sense of the world.

He has taught and mentored extensively at many academic institutions and has presented talks and workshops at the University of Potsdam in Germany and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. In addition, he still finds time after hours and over weekends to assist organisations solve complex problems, and to mentor SME owners.

Moonlander One is a passion project started by Steph to share his know-how with startups and established organisations. He believes that there are many great business ideas that sometimes just needs a gentle push in the right direction. He has a constant team of interns and trusted professional freelances at his disposal, as he sometimes has to juggle more than one project at a time.
