Jason Michael Holland (born 25 January 1971) is an English designer, university lecturer, writer and awards judge who created the 1997 website Head-Space, which is included in Management Today's Ten Websites That Changed the World,[1] and is an acknowledged blueprint for intranets and a precursor to YouTube.

[citation needed] Holland studied the First Diploma in Art and Design at West Nottinghamshire College (Mansfield) from 1989–90, followed by the two-year HND Graphic Design and returns frequently to mentor and lecture.

In 1999, Holland and his then business partner, Felix Velarde were the subject of Keeping Creative,[5] an episode of BBC Knowledge's 15 part series, "The Crunch", profiling innovative entrepreneurs.
