À propos de Stefaan

I help companies improve digital services, customer journeys and user experiences through UX research, service design and behavioral insight. With 20+ years of experience across digital, CX, CRM, marketing automation and service innovation, I help teams understand how people think, choose and behave in real-life contexts. I look beyond the interface to uncover friction, unmet needs and barriers in the wider service experience.

My work is especially relevant for companies that want to improve onboarding, engagement, conversion, retention, customer journeys or digital self-service. I combine qualitative research, journey mapping, service design, CRO and behavioral thinking to turn insights into concrete improvements.

I have worked for corporates, agencies and start-ups across finance, health, telecom, travel, technology, mobility and retail. I am available for freelance assignments where research needs to lead to clearer decisions, better services and measurable digital improvement.

    Led UX research for a car loan simulator, combining behavioral and usability research to uncover emotional friction, reduce cognitive load and better align the experience with the real customer journey.

    Prototype: reviewed the prototype and defined protocols, tasks, and scenarios across target segments

    Research: managed participant comms, ran moderated interviews and task-based usability sessions

    Behavioral insights: identified emotional frictions (money-stress, trust, loss aversion), reduced cognitive load, applied choice architecture and clarified micro vs. target behaviors to drive completion and sustained use.

    Synthesis: turned findings into prioritized insights; produced concept designs and copy tests (clarity, jargon removal, mental-model fit).

    Journey integration: designed end-to-end journey (pre-/post-simulation stages, follow-ups, ownership, KPIs/timing) to align experience and operations.
