What others say about the UX Jobs Handbook

About the author
Hi there! ๐
I'm Nick, a UX & service designer from the Netherlands. With a visual design background, I can design apps, websites, and services that look and work great.
What makes me tick? Two things! First of all, creating a customer journey that just works. To make that happen, I bring together business goals and user needs in what is technically possible. I am a communicator, a facilitator of engaging design thinking workshops, and a pixel-perfect designer.
Usually, I do this as a UX designer, but I'm also comfortable working as a service or product designer. In recent years, I've completed design projects for the Dutch government, multinational banks, and SaaS businesses.
And second, mentoring and coaching other designers to get a better career in UX. I've been lucky enough to help multiple designers get their first job in UX or help them get better at what they do.
If you want to chat about design, mentoring, or working together, please contact me.
