Testimonials

'Leonie was a senior UX designer in one of my teams at KPN. She excels where UX strategy and UX execution meet. She combines a data-driven approach to UX design with a commitment to (commercial) results and mastery of online persuasion. A team player that does not mind putting in extra efforts to get the job done.'

Remco de Vries

Head of Marketing @ InSided

'I had the pleasure of working with Leonie for about three years, of which about two as a manager at Telfort. Working with Leonie always guaranteed a weekly influx of new ideas, insights, deep-dives into our consumers' psychology, and new converting designs. I would sometimes compare 1-on-1's with Leonie to a personal TED-talk, they were always filled with many brainstorms about our (e-commerce) website, UX work in general, consumer psychology or just design thinking/process. Truly fun, and inspiring'
