“Chris worked in my team for one year at Backbase, where I’ve gotten to know him as a curious and energetic professional. With a true drive to move forward, he was able to lead senior stakeholders and his project team. I've experienced first-hand that he is very capable of articulating his UX decisions clear and convincing. With a strong sense of ownership, he made sure the team could count on him. Chris is passionate about UX and you can be sure that he brings great questions, smart ideas and new insights to the table. He is a real team player and shared his experiences, learnings and insights with me and the design team. We’ve done a number of great things together in one year, including giving a talk about Service Design at UX Crunch Amsterdam. Chris is an excellent addition to any team and a great person to work with.”

“In the 6 months that Chris worked for our design team at Accell, I have gotten to know him as a very positive, energetic person who is able to play a crucial, central role in any team by building strong relationships in a short time. He is a great, multi-skilled UX designer with knowledge of both design & development and has some very important traits that other designers sometimes might lack; knowing how to motivate and guide your stakeholders, product owners and team members through clear communication, explanation and presentation. He is not scared to speak up and suggest improvements when he observes inefficiencies in the processes and collaboration within the team, something essential to becoming better. If you are looking for someone that takes full ownership and is able to bring your project to the next level, I would highly recommend Chris.”
