Marie van Driessche

I'm a Dutch designer from Amsterdam. Being a designer, I'm fascinated by how people interact with digital products and each other. Currently I work at Unc Inc as UX Designer & Researcher.

You also can ask me for consultation services in the fields of accessibility, language, sign language, accessible design, usability.

I have been a speaker at various occasions on UX and accessibility topics at a number of Meetups, IXDA events, Interaction ’18 and AWWWARDS.
