Hi! I'm René Politiek
I have 15+ years experience in design and user experience working in banking & insurance and in educational software development. Feel free to get in touch.
When I’m not designing I'm on the badminton court, riding my bike, running, reading, playing retro Sega video games or having a good time with my family and friends.
