This past week, I had the pleasure of delivering the opening keynote at the Elia Group Agile & UX Days in Brussels. After 15 years in digital strategy and interaction design—fueled by a background and passion in user research (and yes, a PhD from Université Paris 2)—my mission remains consistent: elevating UX from a “nice-to-have” design step to a non-negotiable strategic pillar.
The title of my talk was “UX Design for Everyone,” and the core message I challenged the audience with was simple: UX is not a visual cost center; it is a financial control mechanism that protects your entire development budget.
