Who is Didier Hilhorst?
Didier Hilhorst is an internationally experienced design leader with over 20 years of experience shaping digital products, building creative teams, and connecting design excellence with business impact.
Currently VP of Design at Qonto, one of Europe's leading fintech companies, Didier leads design initiatives focused on simplifying complex financial experiences for entrepreneurs and businesses.
Throughout his career, he has helped shape products used by millions of people. From leading major product design initiatives at Uber to contributing to the evolution of Flipboard and advising innovative companies such as Robinhood, Didier has developed a distinctive perspective on how design can drive meaningful innovation at scale.
His approach combines creative intuition, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of how great user experiences contribute to business success.
What is your vision on our creative industry?
Didier believes the creative industry must move beyond designing beautiful interfaces and demonstrate its value as a strategic driver of business growth.
As artificial intelligence transforms how digital products are created, he sees human judgment, creativity, and design intuition becoming increasingly important. While technology can accelerate execution, the ability to recognize meaningful problems, make thoughtful decisions, and create experiences that genuinely resonate with people remains essential.
For Didier, the future of design lies in finding the right balance between creativity and commercial impact. Designers must understand not only what makes a product desirable and intuitive, but also how their decisions influence customer trust, engagement, and business performance.
His perspective challenges creative professionals to think beyond pixels, embrace complexity, and take greater ownership of the business outcomes their work creates.
