Hi!

I’m Simon. I research contexts and design solutions.

About me

I’m a UX researcher and designer, and I help clients develop products that achieve business goals and address actual user needs.

I offer qualitative research services that generate insights for a better understanding of user needs. Depending on your needs, they can be used for actionable recommendations, Journey Maps, Personas, etc. that guide your development.

Just as much, I provide excellent design and prototyping capabilities that allow me to swiftly create interactive prototypes, run user tests, design beautifully polished UIs or collaborate closely with developers - all necessary to create products that are easy to use, valuable and successful.

If you are currently starting with an idea but need that ‘little something’ to make it a successful product or you already have a product but want to bring it to the next level, let’s work together!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
