Bio
Wesley van Ham
During the last 2 years at Vacansoleil I’ve worked closely together with Linda on multiple conversion optimization projects. I really did enjoy working with Linda because of her passion and knowledge about the user experience and designs. Linda is critical and before she starts designing the UI, she first wants to explore the minds and thoughts of the user. Linda has great research skills and she has the experience with multiple user behaviour tools like Hotjar, Optimizely and VWO. in addition, she also has the skills to translate her ideas into interactive wireframes and ultimately fully colored designs. With these skills she is the perfect teammember who can support your conversion optimization program from A to Z. As the project lead for our full website redesign, I experienced Linda as an independent and hardworking person, who can handle pressure and delivers on time. I think Linda can add great value to all big or small UX/CRO teams.

Linda heb ik leren kennen als een prettige medewerker. Zij verstaat haar vak goed en is in staat haar ontwerpen goed over te brengen en te beargumenteren. Linda is communicatief sterk en een echte teamplayer met veel kennis en oog voor detail. Haar inzet en verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel is groot. Linda heb ik leren kennen als iemand die afspraken nakomt en deadlines wil halen.

Linda werkte bij Vacansoleil in het webteam als UX/UI designer. Ze is erg kritisch en nauwkeurig en werkt alles netjes en overzichtelijk uit tot in detail. Ze is flexibel in een team wanneer er hulp geboden moet worden bij bijvoorbeeld functioneel testen of het uitwerken van epics, feature, user stories of bugs. In het Redesign Team gaf Linda waardevolle insights door het inzetten van A/B testen en field research waardoor we goed onderbouwde plannen konden maken voor de verdere ontwikkeling van onze website.
