Thamar Verhaar MSc

Senior Designer

Design is a team sport. I’ve been playing it professionally since 1999 and I can tell you that the best designs are created by a team of creative specialists who are constantly challenging each other.

My passion is usability. I always try to achieve optimum interaction between user and product: just the right mix of form, colour, material and functionality. It is all about balancing the emotional with the rational. A product has to be smart and useful, but it should also make your heart beat a little faster.

I draw my inspiration from the things around me. From art, nature, music and enthusiastic people. That’s why I love going to music concerts and festivals.

Music: Róisín Murphy.

Designer: Ross Lovegrove.
