What is User Experience?

User Experience is about a user's complete perception of an information system (website, application) - from the first impression to long term use. An important element of the User Experience is the usability of the system. This is of crucial importance to its success.

What do I do?

I design usable websites and applications that meet the needs of its users. My services include:

• Interaction design: designing the user interface
  • wireframing, prototyping, concepting, requirements analysis, designing navigation flows, scenarios, information architecture

• User research: analyzing the target group and testing the usability
  • usability testing, expert reviews, paper prototyping, field studies, personas, card sorting

Way of working

I prefer User Centered Design which means that I frequently get feedback from end users during development of the information system, for instance through a usability test. Using this method, I can be sure that the User Experience stays 'on track'. Besides User Experience, I like to focus on the business goals of a site and the technical possibilities and limitations because for a successful information system, all these factors have to be balanced.

Experience

I have been working in the User Experience field for 12 years of which the last 4 years as a freelancer. While getting my master degrees in Medical Information Science and Psychology at the University of Amsterdam, I worked as an interaction designer and usability specialist for Microsoft and TNO and later I was Lead User Experience for Logica for 3 years. By now I have worked on IT projects of all sizes in many different industries including finance, government, healthcare, transport and telecom. See also my Portfolio.
