Greet.Bot
Employee onboarding assistant for Slack.
I’m a product designer with 15 years of cross-functional experience in the tech industry, striving to make software exciting and effortless to use.
I help technology companies make products people like to use. I work across the complete design process, from deep dives into complex user experience problems all the way to final implementation assets.
Advanced products need advanced interfaces. Let me help you identify what you can do better and propose a range of practical solutions.
Gather feedback from different stakeholders and make informed design decisions with a comprehensive blueprint of key screens and interactions.
Use visual cues not only to make your interface look good, but also to help your customers use your product with ease.
Give your product a voice. I’ll help you create chat- and voice-based apps people enjoy talking to.
Over the years I’ve worked with a wide range of startups and established companies. Most recently, I’ve collaborated with Wizehire.com, a recruiting platform for small business owners. Earlier, I helped rebuild Mixbook.com’s photo book editor, assisted Brainly.com with the launch of their first subscription plan, gave Mytos.bio (YC ’18) a hand with their first web app, and designed a data dashboard for Rainforest Connection (Google.org grant recipient). I’ve also worked on internal tooling projects at Bol.com (largest Dutch e-commerce site) and TMG.nl (Dutch/Belgian media publisher). Today I continue to work with teams large and small, particularly on early-stage web and mobile apps (iOS and Android).
I have several extra-curricular projects under my belt. Here are some highlights.

Designing user interfaces is more like solving a Rubik’s Cube than a jigsaw puzzle.
The one thing that matters more than your new design is how you came up with it.
Color, typography and layout pointers for indie makers.
Design chatbots that people enjoy talking to.
Socrates, Microsoft Word and knowing what your product’s true function is.
If I had to give one piece of advice about designing MVPs this would be it.
Don’t settle for the first idea that’s good enough. Keep exploring.
Make sure you nail the value proposition first. Everything else can wait.
I share examples of my work on Dribbble and publish my writings on Medium. I also hang out on Twitter and Product Hunt, and share photos from places I visit on Instagram. You can always catch me on LinkedIn or just drop me an e-mail.
