What is your vision on our creative industry?

My vision on the creative industry is that we need to enjoy, evolve, adapt and accept, while staying close to the core; Creating the best experiences out there. Wow… I didn’t even mention AI… Oh shit, I just did.

What are you bringing to UX Rotterdam?

We live in a time when anyone can call themselves a designer and anything can be generated in seconds. But as we become increasingly focused on prompting, we risk losing sight of the process that makes creativity possible, resulting in outstanding work. It’s time to rethink the balance between Creating and Generating.
