Services

I help companies and design-teams to innovate with care and to create more sustainable, responsible and ethical digital products. Why? Digital products can have various negativ impacts: They can produce tons of unnecessary CO2 emissions. By focussing on the users only, they are harming other actors (human / non-human). Or they incorporate existing inequalities and exclusions. I help companies to create sustainable and responsible products, that meet the changing end-customer demands, upcoming regulations and make sure we and the following generations still have a place and society to live in.

SUX Podcast

Together with Bavo Lodewyckx I host SUX – The Sustainable UX Podcast – a podcast for designers, UX people and digital product builders who want to make an impact for a sustainable future. With the SUX Podcast we invite you to meet wonderful people from around the world and to get inspired by their way of trying to save the world through and within UX, Design and Tech.

About me

For more than 15 years I am working in the field of UX, Service Design and Strategic Digital Consulting, supporting clients to create meaningful products and build up, lead, coach UX and Product Teams. In 2020 and after going through a Burnout I quit my job as Director UX of an international Digital Agency to fully focus on some of the major issues we face as human beings and society and to drive change through and within my work.

Being a mountaineer for many years, I see every year how fast the glaciers are vanishing. Being up in the mountains shows me every time how dramatic the situation is and that we all need to act right now. With focussing on Sustainable UX and Design I want to bring my knowledge and experience to the table to help saving this world for us and every being on this planet.

Work with me

„We need to move from a human to humanity and environmental-centered design approach.“​
