Pim Dieks

UX / UI Designer

Introduction

My background is far from being an UX / UI designer, my career started off in the Dutch military. This experience taught me discipline, teamwork and communication. These skills make me the designer I am today, I love to work within a team and believe that a product is better when it is made together to be more inclusive and in tune with it’s users.

My education is technical and I acquired my bachelor degree in IT at the Fontys in Eindhoven in 2019. Here I learned to combine my technical and design knowledge to design products that work for everyone. This for both the users and the developers who I work with to create these products.

Skills

  • Research and apply user centered design

  • Deliver comprehensive wireframes

  • Create functional prototypes for user testing
