About
Hello, my name is Boon.
I’m a user experience designer currently working at SapientNitro in London.
I’m happy I get paid to be curious and make meaningful things at the same time – two things I love doing most.
I worked for many years as a software developer, and UX is a natural progression of wanting to make things better.
I pursue a lot of projects from time to time. I’m the creator of cyclehi.com – a simple mobile Barclays cyclehire search site, and I also lead and organise UXCampLondon. I like to attend a lot of events, make sketchnotes, and take photos.
“GlueThink” comes from one of my talks where I described the work of UX as “glue thinking”, that is:
- figuring out the structure or form of a thing
- making things “stick”
- getting people high
