MY APPROACH
Customer-centric decision making
Listen
Create
Deliver
I analyse complex scenarios by the use of service design activities that focus on listening to both customers and stakeholders in order to create a holistic understanding of all related actors.
I communicate the derived insights visually to align all interactions and consequently enable cross-functional teams to deliver the ideal service experience.
MY DELIVERABLEs
Customer-centric mindset
To empathise different team members with the interactions a customer has with a brand and its service, I use different tools and methodologies. As these are means to deliver, and not a goal on itself, they are always tailored to the client’s context, challenge and ambition.
Yet if I had to roughly divide 100% of the deliverables of my work, it will be close to the following:
MY CLIENTS
Work experience
Since November 2013 I have been working at Essense – Service Design. Here I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with clients like:
Service Designer | Client
Client work is roughly 30 – 40% of my current job.
From October 2018 to January 2020 – I have had the pleasure to be working on Philips ambition to develop multiple direct-to-consumer subscription models. It was very exciting and challenging to create a service proposition from scratch, within a company having its core roots in product design.
Therefore I am happy to share that I was part of the team that launched the OneBlade subscription in both US & Germany in 2019.
SD Practice Lead | Essense
The other 60 – 70% of my work responsibilities lay within my role at Essense as Service Design Practice Lead.
Here I am responsible for the way of working & approach at Essense to ensure a consistent quality of all our client deliverables.
I have the privilege to do this with a team of +/- 15 very talented Service Designers, Design Researchers and Design Strategists – where we amongst others aim to share knowledge, document tools and methodology, celebrate our wins and fails … all in order to learn from each other and improve the quality of our work and related skills as a whole.
By nature, I will always aim to combine professionalism with humor and encourage my team to do the same.
Other responsibilities are coaching, recruitment and company strategy.
