 Meet the Team


Karina Steffens

Karina

As Neo-Archaic’s lead Lead Web Designer and Web Developer, I have 30 years of experience fusing UX/UI design, strategy, and front-end engineering.

I specialise in developing custom WordPress websites utilising Roots / Sage, interactive multimedia, and web apps. My user-centric approach to digital product architecture prioritises web accessibility (WCAG), Responsive Web Design (RWD), usability, and modern development best practices.

I founded Neo-Archaic in 2004 after working for Martello Media, creating interactive displays for Museum and Heritage exhibitions. I have BAs in Communication and Journalism and International Relations, as well as a diploma in Content and Origination.

Throughout my career, I’ve provided tailored, creative solutions to non-profit organisations, Irish and Local Government frameworks, Museum & Heritage, artists, educators, and SMEs.

I have also collaborated with creative agencies to translate branding into high-fidelity designs, engineered complex wireframes into functional code, and partnered with software development teams to deliver visually appealing, user-friendly interfaces.

I love being involved in projects from start to finish, so when the opportunity arose to join Neo-Archaic, I grabbed it to enjoy this creation process again and use all the skills I’ve picked up over the years.

These include a B.Sc. in Library and Information Science in the Netherlands, a Web Masters course in Dublin, and fifteen years’ experience working for Microsoft as project manager and localisation specialist.

While Karina is the expert at creating mostly bespoke or the occasional template websites that are intuitive to use, keep visitors engaged, and are beautifully designed, my forte lies in online marketing, user experience, project management, and research.

My goal is to ensure that we understand the client’s need, walk them through every stage of the process to make sure they’re still on-board and happy with what’s happening, and of course that they’re delighted with the final result.
