Brecht Daams

Brecht Daams is an ergonomic consultant, specialized in usability of products and software/websites. How do users use and experience a product? Is it safe, comfortable, effective and efficient to use? And how can this user experience be improved on by adapting the product? Brecht can give you useful advice in this area. Over the last 11 years, she advised on mobile devices, signposting, products for disabled people, websites, products for children, and much more. She investigated cross-cultural usability aspects, too. Product use may differ between different countries, even if the products are the same. One day each week Brecht works with Delft University of Technology, dept. of Industrial Design Engineering. A recent visit to the Usability Professionals Association Conference in Portland enabled her to join the Business on a Bike group ride.

Brecht rode a mountain bike that she rented on our ride becoming our first international rider. Brecht normally rides a recumbent bike. If you want to know more about recumbent cycling ask Brecht. She knows everything about recumbents and is involved in the organization of the largest recumbent event in the world: CycleVision (www.cyclevision.nl). Her favorite bike at the moment is a rowing bike (www.rowingbike.com).

Did you know that recumbents are more ergonomic and efficient for some tasks than upright bikes? If you want to know more about usability and user experience for a product you or your company are developing, ask Brecht.
