👋 Hi, my name is Wouter

I've been a designer for over 24 years
The last 11 of which in the field of UX

What I do

I make sense of things.

The environments of people are complex. Often with even more complex systems and tools.

I find core patterns and structures to bring back a level of simplicity. So people are able to interact with the most sophisticated systems in a way that seems simple and logic to them.

How I do it

I am a master in visualising the context of people into diagrams that help find common understanding and show the desired end goal in a simplified manner.

By listening to people and observing their activities and behaviors I am able to design applications that help them perform tasks better, faster and with more joy.

What I'm like

A few positive things that others have said about me:

• positive and flexible mindset
• nice to work with
• a quick learner
• unusual mix of analytical and creative
• solutions that are well thought out
• deliverables of high quality
• integer and respectful
• good sense of humor
