Hoi!
Hi! I’m Arjan van der Vlies, a design leader hailing from The Netherlands. I enjoy crafting digital solutions that resonate with individual users and help organizations achieve their goals. Over the last 15+ years, I’ve successfully delivered B2B and B2C apps & websites for Fortune 500 companies, governments, startups, and non-profits alike.
Having worked across the globe, I specialize in team building, digital product creation, and fostering energizing company cultures. Currently, I am honing my design leadership skills at Sureify, collaborating with an exceptional team of designers, engineers, and product managers. Together, we’re revolutionizing the life insurance landscape through cutting-edge software products.
