Kind words & recognition

Kudos

I knew you would win that.
Steve Gluskoter — Senior Design Director, HP Global Design Team

Over three decades, the best part of the work has always been the people I got to do it with. Every so often one of them wrote a review.

A few of them are below, alongside the awards the team has picked up along the way.

With gratitude to everyone who said a kind word, and to the teams behind every project.

— Bart

In their words

A wall of kind words
I have known Bart for over two decades, and recently we started working together on an exciting new project at INTIV focused on addressing human behavior challenges in oral care. Throughout the years, Bart has consistently proven to be reliable, creative, and highly professional. He brings a wealth of experience, a collaborative mindset, and a hands-on approach that helps move projects forward across multiple areas. His ability to combine strategic thinking with practical execution makes him a valuable asset to any team.

Thank you for being a driving force on the Impala program. Your work on all elements of design and user experience has elevated the product to something we can all be proud of. I appreciate your passion, wisdom, creativity, and team approach to solving the litany of daily challenges.

That is head-and-shoulders above any NFT virtual gallery I've seen before. Way to raise the bar, Bart!
Chad Martin
That is wild, Bart — it has an incredible aesthetic. I absolutely love the visual space, the pavilion, the stairways, the height and light… You excel at virtual spaces and experiences; this focus is perfect for you!!!!

Breathtaking! You should be proud — a lot of hard work went into this, and you can tell.

You should be so proud — that is dope! I love how you explore the whole space but stay directed, so you don't feel lost or overwhelmed. The little details bring you into a whole different reality — very Dune-esque.

I want to thank you for what you did to drive a successful and broadly appreciated executive forum. I know this would not have been successful without you making it special.

Selected awards & recognition Product design honoured across a decade — and a first-place Metaverse build in a new one.
iF product design award · 2007–2013 ×6 red dot best of the best · 2009 · 2012 red dot winner · 2010 · 2012 · 2013 IDEA · 2008 · 2012 GOOD DESIGN SPARK Goed Industrieel Ontwerp · 2010 · 2012 · 2013 Won the largest Metaverse Build Bounty · MoNA Concepts Creator Design Academy Eindhoven · 1991

None of these are mine alone. I helped set the vision and direction — sometimes in broad strategic strokes, often hands-on with detailed plans, CAD, curating and guiding, sometimes defining surfaces. The people I built alongside made them real. And we too often forget the engineers and manufacturing teams who turn pixels into atoms.
