Designing digital products that are loved.
Hi, I’m Bart — a hands-on Design Lead and UX Manager based in the Netherlands. I design digital products that people love — fast, focused, and made to last. At Elsevier, I lead design strategy for two flagship platforms. With experience across agencies, consulting, and corporates like Adidas, Philips, and FedEx, I bring speed, clarity, and collaboration to every project.

Bart was the first designer that joined the Amsterdam Scopus group, joining as a Senior UX Designer in my team. There are three key characteristics that he brought to the team: collaboration, product mindset and customer obsession. He co-led the definition and implementation of our design system and demonstrated solid leadership skills, which enabled him to become a UX manager within the area.
