Hello, I’m
Axel Nieuwland
A creative Dutchie that is well versed in the arts of sarcasm and humor. I like to work on various projects that benefit people, both familiar and unknown, whilst being constantly curious to learn new things.
Design Philosophy
Minimalism
Eliminating unnecessary elements to create a focused and meaningful experience for the user.
Input & Feedback
Ensuring timely and meaningful feedback with every user interaction to build trust, enhance usability, and make users feel acknowledged.
Streamline & Clarify
Translating complex systems into intuitive and user-friendly experiences without compromising on functionality or depth.
Consistency
Consistency creates predictability and builds user confidence, transforming good experiences into great ones by fostering familiarity and trust.
Why I chose UX Design
“Life is hard, the modern day world is complex, stressful and demanding. That is why I want to make people’s lives a little easier by figuring out what ails them on a day-to-day basis, and offer solutions that save time while providing a meaningful experience.“
When I'm not working I'm:
Painting Miniatures
Working out
Creating Games
Reading
Enjoying Music

During his internship, Axel conducted extensive research on the usability of our website and web application. In doing so, he was very thorough; Axel likes to understand in detail why certain things were developed. In doing so, he shows an enormous eagerness to learn and great enthusiasm. As a result, Guardian360 received a report from Axel that lays a solid foundation for UX design and gamification in the years to come. All of which he has substantiated with prototypes and clearly naming quick wins.
Axel strikes with momentum and purpose. Aware of what makes designs work, backed up by the communication skills to make complex matters obvious. Axel’s eye for efficiency and work ethic make him a valuable team member.
Axel worked with me as a user experience designer at Guardian360 – I found him to be very passionate and dedicated to his work. He has a high attention to detail and took initiative to produce many UI artifacts that were missing from our organization, over and above the scope of work assigned to him. This made our lives much easier, and his impact at Guardian360 will be felt long after he has gone. He has the potential to be a game-changer for whoever employs him into their team.
Only one way to describe this person: hard worker. Axel is an amazing team member with great communication skill and likes to make tons of jokes. He’s a man of his word and always delivers quality to his work. Axel was a valuable member of our team.
