Usethetics is the design studio of Rogier Barendregt, passionate visual designer, typophile, open web-standards aficionado and mobile web enthusiast.
We create intuitive and happy experiences with an emphasis on providing sophisticated yet simple and elegant solutions for oft-complex problems. With our user-centric approach and less = more attitude we create magic by boiling, simmering and reducing.
From analysis, strategy and idea generation to a solid visual design all the way through to beautifully handcrafted, high-quality semantic markup and styling our aim is to create a perfect marriage of form and function. Our products are usable and accessible to everyone including people with disabilities and robots. We are actively involved with the web community and current best practices and cutting edge web and design innovations.
Our interfaces are robust and device-agnostic, with beautifully set electronic type and great looking letters; readable typography is one of the most important means to a perfect user-interface.
Some of the companies we work for include Reed Elsevier's User Centered Design Group, Amsterdams Uitburo & De Uitmarkt, User Intelligence, Gemeente Utrecht, Kennisnet, Malmberg, Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap, NL20, Nuon, Rabobank, Randstad, Cat Priem Edele Ontwerpen, Gem Kingdom and BlueInsights.
