A little background on the organizers:

Bart 🇳🇱 is a front-end developer turned designer (we call him a unicorn for a reason) whose range of experience makes him a great person to seek advice from. He’s co-founded an agency, led design teams at start-ups, and freelanced for clients from around the world. Most recently, he’s been working as a senior product designer at a startup called Event Cadence. Outside of design Bart loves to hike, cycle, and do yoga.

Adam 🇺🇸 is a seasoned generalist, having spent most of his career at small startups. He’s designed digital products, managed projects, led cross-functional teams, and obsessed over processes big and small. At the moment, he’s the director of design at UX Cabin, a digital product design studio, and a startup mentor at MassChallenge. Outside of design Adam loves records, stand up comedy, and reality TV.

Dario 🇮🇹 sets the bar for any of you aspiring freelancers. He was an early adopter of Webflow and has been shortlisted as one of their top designers to hire. Although his focus these days is web and digital product design, he’s also a very talented brand designer, illustrator, and animator. It’s safe to say that he makes us pretty jealous. Outside of design Dario loves to climb, travel, and cook.
