What makes me, me
About
I’m Stefan Haaring, a spontanious storyteller, visual, UX/UI designer and rollercoaster lover.
Rollercoaster lover? Yessir! As a passionate designer, I create adventures much like rollercoasters.
In recent years I have come to realise users are tough and traditional towards their own ways of living. Places like amusement parks on the other hand are an example of how storytelling can bridge the gap between reality and greater immersion. Simply put, people in happy places behave more flexibly which is what I aspire to do.
By paying attention to details and understanding brands I use a mix of innovation, creativity and imagination to make your online world a happy place too.
My values
Inclusivity
I believe that for too long the world has focused on the “ordinaire”. Everyone deserves a change which is why I strive to serve everyone, including those with disabilities.
Curiosity
Trying as many new things in life is what I live by and how I will always manage to bring new things to your table. Whether it be for the creative process or for my hobbies.
Experience
Screens are everywhere nowadays, which is why I firmly believe in more hybrid solutions and ethical principles to help users stay grounded in reality.
Yours truly everything-amateur
In this lifetime I aspire to look around as many corners for new hobbies and interests. It’s why I call myself an amateur in almost everything. Whether it be exploring themeparks, abseiling (and overcoming my fear for heights) or cycling up the Alpe d'Huez. I want to experience as many of life’s secrets as possible to take into account the feelings and emotions in which one can express oneself to broaden my view of the world around me.
