What people say I have worked with
"When working with Joost at Degreed, I enjoyed watching someone at work with a pure passion for quality and being pragmatic but not settling for mediocrity. He’s got a keen eye for detail, is not afraid to state his opinion, and gets things done. I remember most of our dashboard project, where he grew our product from hard to understand to helpful and informative. It’s been super fun, Joost, on and off work. I'm glad to have had you on the team"
Tim de Groot
Designer, Hedge
"At Degreed, Joost and I worked together for three years. During that period we closely collaborated on a few projects that were high impact for the company. I have seen him grow from a good designer with great UI skills, to an excellent, even more complete designer and collaborator. He solicited feedback both internally and externally, was able to explain the reasoning behind his solutions, and seamlessly integrated great ideas. Joost is a great person who happens to also be a joy to work with and talk to, reliable, has a meticulous attention to detail and consistency, and is goal-oriented."
Khalid Laouhi
Design System Lead, Passive Logic
"I worked with Joost at two companies on many different projects. I initially hired him in 2019 at Degreed to strengthen our team with his incredible visual design talent, but he quickly mastered all other aspects of product design and was trusted with the most complex and highest profile projects. In 2023 when I had moved on to a different company, I hired him again to help me do a complete redesign of a complex HR/Finance product. I could not have wished for a better partner; the quality of the design work was outstanding, and the collaboration was not only a lot of fun and highly effective due to his clear and direct way of communicating."
