Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWard Meremans is a seasoned product designer and owner with 12 years of experience crafting digital experiences, currently shaping VRT MAX after a decade-plus of product and UX roles at VRT. He blends hands-on UI development and product ownership—having led digital products for Eén, Canvas and Dagelijkse Kost—with strategic consulting through his studio Damn Good, taking projects from idea to interface. Trained in usability design at KU Leuven and with roots in graphic design, he bridges visual craft and practical front-end engineering. Ward is comfortable translating editorial and broadcast needs into user-centered streaming and web products, and he often operates at the intersection of design, development and product strategy. An understated strength is his continuity: long tenures across evolving roles show he not only ships features but helps steer product direction over years.
