Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein (allegedly)

Are you looking for a freelance interaction designer / user experience designer with a lot of experience? Then you have found him!

Yes, Interaction/UX Design is for a large part about simplification, about making things understandable and thus pleasant to use, without sacrificing essential functionality - that is what comes to my mind when pondering about the above quote. Creating a world in which technology serves people and not the other way around, is what the good people at HKU called it at the time of my study.

But UX design is much more than that: in essence it is a continous process to establish an optimal balance between your product or service, business goals, technology, design and the end user / consumer. A solid UX process is the only way to stay connected with the always changing world of your target audience and allows you to make sure your product or service is - and stays - relevant.

My main drive is to empower people - I prefer to work on projects that make a real difference for the end user. And if that was not the goal from the start, strive to make it happen anyway. I love working with people that share this vision.

In the past 15 years I have seen the field grow up, with developing insights in the user psyche as well as the evolution of design methods and teams. In these years I have gained experience and achieved many successes in designing for a wide array of platforms, audiences and applications - from optical media and interactive installations to the 2016 internet, from web shops to e-health applications, from B2B to disadvantaged youth.

Among my past employers and clients are: Ministry of MEDIA, MTV/Nickelodeon, Change the Script, Philips Design, GGZ Amsterdam, Global Reporting Initiative, Ministerie van VROM, de Balie, GGD Amsterdam, Bayer, Danone/LU, KIT/Tropenmuseum, Bel Nederland, Canon Nederland.
