One for the road. One for the dirt. Both equally good for the soul.

They made some good progress on our bus. Our daughters named him Bennie. Hopefully Bennie will be ready in time for summer vacation. 🤞

I coded a Hugo static website and each chapter is an .md file. Probably spent way too much time on coding the ebook website. But it was just so much fun!

I finally found an excuse to bring back the classic dancing hamsters and confetti @fubits.dev 🎉❤️

Good humans, I wrote a book. Took me 10 yrs. Share it with anyone who wants to understand the minds they're designing for and the mind they're designing with. 40 chapters free to read. 📘 productdesignpsychology.com ❤️

For all 40 chapters in my book, I created an illustration. It was a challenge to develop a unique style and come up with concepts that matched each chapter’s topic, but I’m happy with how they turned out. 📘 productdesignpsychology.com

Every work day I start here on the couch with a coffee, making my todo list for the day and going through emails and chats. Often with some piano music playing in the background 💆‍♂️

The feedback came in. The screen was confusing. People got stuck. The evidence was obvious. And still, you defend it. Because the design stopped feeling like work and started feeling like proof of whether you were actually good at your job. 📘 productdesignpsychology.com/03-design-fo...

You might have called it experience. A lot of the time, it was just you designing for yourself in a room full of people who are nothing like you. 📘 productdesignpsychology.com/01-nobody-th...

I had an absolute blast riding through the mountains of Sardinia.

A weekend trip on an old motorcycle through muddy forest tracks is good for the soul.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Working on the illustrations for my book Product Design Psychology. After almost a decade 🙈 of starting, stopping, and starting again, I’ve finally reached the fun part.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

Another dream unlocked: We bought a 1970 Volkswagen T2a campervan. Might still need a tiny bit of work, but we can’t wait for many family road trips in this classic.

Couldn’t resist adding this gem to my design book stack.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

What it feels like to ride a motorcycle (🔊sound on)

My little office space is coming together nicely—it’s amazing how much joy and productivity this cozy, creative corner is bringing.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

Can imagine for the position and situation you are in it probably won’t work. For me, my work situation has become more simple nowadays and this makes tasks more visible. Helps me to stay focused.

Fed up with pretty much every digital PM tool and todo app out there, I’m going back to good old paper and pencil for my task list.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Loving the energy and impact my new intern is bringing.

Step by step, my new office space is coming together. Made some good progress: ✅ Laminate flooring ✅ Desk ✅ Chairs ✅ Banana lamp ✅ Balloon lamp ✅ Plants ✅ Coffee machine Next up: a bookcase, a rug, and some wall decor. Maybe a couch or a lounge chair.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

Finally found (and ordered) an office chair that’s not just ergonomically solid but also an absolute beauty: the Enova Aria EAR-001B, designed by Marcelo Alegre.

Having fun designing a sleek and simple personality test.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Still have my cosy attic home-office, but my daughters want their own bedroom probably soon, so I need to make space. Plus, it will be nice to have a place to receive clients.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

My girls recommended a dutch flag on the floor, orange walls, a rug with horses, a big bed in the middle and two bean bags with a cute round table. 🤔 Would surely make it a creative space.

Thanks! Voorschoten, right next to the school of my daughters. For now just myself, but who knows I can convince someone to share the space at some point or hire people.

Wouter de Bres @wdeb.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Just got the keys to my new office! Needs a lot of work, but I’m excited to turn it into a creative space where my best designs will come to life.

Business is going well, which makes me confident to take a next step: rent an office space. Found a perfect little space next to school of my daughters, which allows me to still have lunch with them every day. I love working from home but when clients come to visit it will be nice to have an office.
