The last couple of years, I focus more and more on design systems. Analytic thinking combined with an eye for details, my German Gründlichkeit and love for teaching and helping.

Please read a case study of my work at DataCamp for waffles, their design system which I helped growing for a bit more than a a year.

The last two years I help organizing UX Antwerp, a local meetup community for UX professionals. Instead of a December event, we decided to focus on giving back to the community in another way: we support Hack Your Future Belgium who's training refugees and newcomers to code and start their career in tech in Belgium.

We spoke with some of the students, graduates and people who make this organisation tick. Hear about how HYF is changing lives, and the future of our industry, from their own mouths.

Please consider making a donation - every little bit counts. UX Antwerp will match your donations up to €1500. And be sure to enter "UX Antwerp" in the text field. You'll be entered to win some great prizes!

Check out our UX for the Future video, and donate!

Hello UX'ersNormally in December we throw special event, to show our appreciation to members and volunteers, and have some fun. But with so much screen fatig...

I was briefed on this project with the words "user should almost be a little disappointed once the registration flow is finished, as it was so much fun to do".

That is a challenge! Good design is invisible, they say. Especially when designing functional applications, users should walk through the screens without much distraction. Yet, how nice would it be to put a little smile on a user's face?

Check here the redesigned profile of VRT: https://profiel.vrt.be and register! for the little smile on your face.

hx for the super nice collaboration, VRT!
