personal-picture

Hi there! I am Claudia Reynders and I love creating digital products that bring joy to people's lives.

I am a UX Designer, with a working experience in front-end development and product management. You could say that I am a curious person by nature and am always willing to learn about new things. That's why I transitioned further towards specialising in User Experience. Now, I feel can dive into research, really think about a product, its features and how it all should function.

With my experience in front-end development I can help you build working prototypes, interactive styleguides, websites or even small/medium-sized apps. My tools of trade usually are Sass, JavaScript and/or React and sometimes a hint of Ruby. You can find some of my work on GitHub, if you're curious to find out more.

Outside work I spend most of my free time over at women.code(be),(women dot code be) a community that I founded back in 2017. Our community goal is to provide female developers in Belgium with a space where they can connect, inspire and support each other. The community also organises a variety of events such as Tech Talks with guest speakers, casual networking events and a workshop every now and then...

So, what am I looking for?
Currently, I am looking for a (part-time) position, where I can use my unique skillset and experience.

At the moment I am available and looking for new opportunities! So don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

“If you can't solve a problem, it's because you're playing by the rules”

Paul Arden,
It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be

Some personal facts that I like to share with you

  1. The quote right above this section is one of my favourites

    It reminds me of how I managed to solve some problems when the traditional approach didn’t work.

  2. I have a thing for Tiki mugs (and cocktails)

    One of my goals is to visit tiki bars over the world. So far I only visited four...

  3. I love to travel and work remotely

    My favourite destinations so far are London, Canada and the Greek Islands!

  4. I really enjoy playing old point-and-click adventure games

    I just love the riddles and puzzles! That's probably the reason why I also like escape rooms.

  5. I host board game nights for small groups of friends on a frequent base

    The offline bonding in combination with challenging games are my favourite pastime.
