Who

I am

I am René Klinkhamer
Product & Experience designer

My work has always been about the interface between humans & digital systems. From the early days of the web, to immersive experiences like flash sites, kiosks, & installations, to apps for mobile devices.

At its heart, my focus is to design intuitive, immersive, entertaining, engaging, beautiful & effective interactions between people & machines.

What

I do

Concept

Understand customer needs and business objectives and translate these into a successful design, experience or product. On brand, on time and on budget.

Design

Engaging, eye-catching, considered work which gets seen and gets results. Be it digital or physical, or a mix of both.

Production

I'm a perfectionist with a love of craftsmanship. I enjoy creating exceptional user experiences that exceed expectations and delight users.

Phygital

I do digital experiences, I do physical experiences, but what I love the most is a combination of both.

Accessible

Access to digital spaces is a right. Digital spaces should be designed to be accessible from the outset, not as an afterthought.

Complex

I love making complexity (seem) simple. With years of experience working with large corporates, I understand complex product ecosystems and getting things done in complex organisations.
