Hans Van De Bruggen is a founding product designer with nine years of experience crafting data- and AI-driven product experiences across startups and major tech companies.

As a startup founder and advisor he’s led design pivots—from early chatbots to consumer apps—and authored the bestselling book Learnability Isn’t Enough on long-term usability. Based in New York, he mixes hands-on prototyping and growth-minded UX with an ability to ship high-adoption features quickly.
