About Tineke Timmerman
I’m a digital specialist with over 15 years of experience bridging design, development, and accessibility. My strength lies in connecting disciplines, from UX and content to front-end development, to create inclusive, future- and human proof digital experiences.
Professional Path
I’ve evolved from hands-on front-end development to leading accessibility at scale, working with stakeholders across design, content, dev and business. My focus: making usability and accessibility an integral part of every digital process, not an afterthought.
Before my career in tech, I worked as an event production manager and music promoter, where I learned how to combine creativity, logistics, culture and sales into successful experiences. That ability to connect different disciplines still defines my work today.
Philosophy and Methodology
Inspired by the concept of “designing with code,” I adopt a holistic approach, blurring the lines between design and development. This allows for rapid, efficient prototyping and iterative design, facilitating direct implementation and real-time adjustments.
My portfolio showcases projects where I’ve effectively integrated this, from enhancing user interfaces to building accessible, data-driven applications.
Team Collaboration
I thrive in dynamic, multidisciplinary teams where my skills complement the work of UX designers and developers. My approach is collaborative and supportive, facilitating cross-functional teamwork that leads to solutions and successful project outcomes.
I like to bridge gaps between functionality, aesthetics, and user experience.
Making Impact
My work has enhanced user experiences and accessibility. Whether I’m consulting on major projects for fintech and government sectors or designing responsive solutions for eCommerce, my efforts are aimed at leveraging technology to improve inclusivity, as well as conversion.
