Product Design for companies that need to scale, adapt and explore.
Amsterdam-based product design specialist creating well-crafted digital products on visual systems that scale. Over the last 15 years, I've led and worked in multidisciplinary teams, shipping work for industry-leading companies and for startups searching for product-market fit. My main goal is to create work that's simple, yet impactful, this usually means systems need to be easily understood and the visual execution stands the test of time. I work best as a senior IC or in a hands-on leadership role, where I can foster an environment for collaboration and exploration.

Notes
Moments. Context. Form. Products work hard, utilitarian, functional, serve a purpose. Memorable product experiences do that, and more. Moments: A window of opportunity within the UX where a person feels something. Pick 3 to work with, be sensitive. Context: Match moments with the right context. Form: Consider the surface area, timing and delivery. The best products combine, moments, form and context. Add emotion to the functional. Iterate.
Present a vision of the future, have tomorrow planned. React to change, market, customer, external factors. Do just enough work to move forward. Too little is vague and scope drifts, too much is waste and creates noise. Create space to think & zoom out. Listen to signals, be in the room to pick them up. Your sales people are frontline researchers. Your soft skills are also hard skills. Navigating change, fostering creativity and managing expectation is by design. Prototype. Prototype. Prototype.
The future of agentic powered user experiences is not purely interacting with a chat-box. It is also not fully agentic. Efficiency and precision come from the user and the product having shared information, context and data. The best products will utilise agents when needed, with control, enabling them to enrich the UX and form new patterns and UI where applicable.

Quiet Table
A taste-driven restaurant finder for you and your mates. The idea started off as an experiment to find the edges of where agentic conversational UI and traditional UX flows overlap.
