GlueThink

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
