Working together
Your team carries it forward. I set it up.
A programme that needs to get started, through an agency or directly: that is where I come in. Two tracks below.
Directly for clients
Two forms, and they like to follow each other
Short, one to four months. There is input and a decision has to be made. I lead discovery, take strategy to roadmap, design and facilitate the sessions and build the first prototype.
Long, six to ten months. Your product team has to start something new: customer journey, product, alignment. I set it up as the starter, next to your product owner, until something runs, and then hand over.
Where I do my best work
At the start of a programme, when the direction is still open. With a decision-maker at the table and an organisation that makes time for it. In a team of designers, engineers and strategists. On outcome and a fixed price where that is possible. Looking for something else, say a training for your team in design thinking or in building with AI? Ask, and we will see together whether it fits.

For agencies
One senior who leads discovery and comes back with something tangible
You have a client programme that needs to get started and a client who wants to see something. I take the front end: scoping, interviews, session design, facilitation, report and the first prototype. One person, no handover between strategist, facilitator and designer. Your team builds on from there, or I hand over to the client.
Why that works at an agency
I know agency dynamics from the inside: twenty years at agencies in the Netherlands and Belgium, five years running my own agency of fifteen people, the last seven years as a contractor at DEPT, Sprint Valley, Bothrs and iO Digital among others. I know what an account manager needs, what a client wants to see before signing, and how to design a session that doesn't embarrass the agency.
Ways to bring me in
Per day, per sprint or embedded on a client programme. Remote or on site. With your format or with mine: design sprint, strategy sprint, AI discovery on processes, customer journey, brand sprint. Reporting in your house style if you like.
What the programme needs
A decision-maker from the client in the room. Interviews beforehand. An owner on the client side for what happens after the session. And a clear rate up front, so the programme doesn't fall apart financially weeks in.
