Methodologies & best practices are fundamental tools but it really is all about PEOPLE in the end. From people we collaborate with to deliver value, to people we aim to serve.

In recent times, coaching & leadership roles he’d served to communities of Design managers had taught him the impact of sharing best practices & lifting his colleagues to the next level.

  • I worked with Kevin in the amazing UX european community for over 2 years.
    He had the ability to build the community, engage people, evangelize and coach us all on important issues such as: lean UX, personas, user research, prototyping, user journey, user map.
    Now we are able to measure our UX results and outcome and our approach to the development is more user-centric.

  • Kevin led a huge leap in UX maturity across Europe over the two years we worked together at Wolters Kluwer.

    He guided me as a UX Lead to introduce design KPIs, upskill and coach my own team, advised in how to deal with all kinds of stakeholders and he provided training in research and collaboration methodologies that took our practice to the next level.

    I have a lot of respect and gratitude to Kevin.
