About Stephen

Hi there. I’m Stephen Bolen – a St. Louis-based user experience designer & developer. I’ve been fortunate enough in my 12-ish years of professional website design & development career to work on some great applications in the automotive and biotechnology industries. I’ve also owned my own sports blog network1 and have started two freelance shops with some friends.

Here’s a brief biography, codified for your edification:

Stephen Bolen is a St. Louis-based web designer & developer with over 12 years of professional experience in the automotive, biotechnology and advertising industries. Stephen specializes in user-centered website design & development, creating experiences for a bevy of freelance clients through his creative outlet, Hercules Design Group. Stephen is the co-founder of the St. Louis chapter of the Build Guild, a monthly meet-up of web professionals, and is a professional member (in good standing) of AIGA. Prior to forming Hercules Design Group, Mr. Bolen was the founder and owner of Gamma Ray Media, a small-business website development shop specializing in small business and political website design.
