About Ash Shaw

I founded LightSpeed in 2003 as an IT support company, and by 2007 we had fully embraced WordPress, evolving into a design and development agency. Since 2014, LightSpeed has been fully remote, working with clients across industries while keeping roots in Cape Town — a city where the mountains and sea are never more than a short ride away. Today, our focus is on building scalable, content-first WordPress and WooCommerce solutions. We’re behind open-source projects like the LSX Design System, LSX Design block theme, and Tour Operator plugin, and continue to champion workflows that empower both businesses and developers. I’ve also had the privilege of speaking at WordCamp Europe 2025, and serving on the Volunteers Team at WordCamp Europe 2024, experiences that deepened my commitment to giving back to the community that shaped my career. Outside of building, I’m a regular guest on OpenChannels.FM podcasts and have appeared on BugHerd webinars, sharing insights on workflows, remote agency life, design systems, accessibility, and the future of WordPress development.

    I used https://symbolset.com/ for most of the icons, so the embedded presentation looks a bit goofy without the font loaded! Here’s a PDF version that looks like it’s supposed to: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3831832/device%20lab%20-%20wordcamp%20presentation.pdf

      Hey Steve. Sorry, I didn’t have time to look at each presentation on SlideShare and that they display properly. Thanks a bunch for pointing it out. I have included a button link to your PDF rather, which looks way better 🙂
