I have a soft spot for great food and messy digital challenges.

I’m Simon Lugte, a freelance UX designer who’s ready to cook, bringing structure to complex problems and turning them into clear, useful experiences.

Probably asking “why?” one time too many.

Most digital problems are a bit like a messy kitchen.

Too many ingredients, too many people involved and nobody quite agrees on the recipe.

I like figuring out what matters, removing what doesn’t and turning the whole thing into something that feels obvious in the end.

The tools change. The recipe depends on the problem.

How I work

  1. Investigate

    Know your ingredients.

    Understand the people, context and underlying problem.

  2. Clarify

    Mise en place.

    Create structure, direction and shared understanding.

  3. Design

    Make it work. Then plate it.

    Turn insights into clear and intuitive digital experiences.

Experiments, prototypes and half-baked ideas.

AI in my workflow

AI can speed up the prep. Judgment still decides what gets served.

Human judgement, always.

“Better questions lead to better products.”
