Sanne studied Industrial Design Engineering at the TU Delft. After eight years as designer in the field, he now works at the School of Interactive Media (Hogeschool van Amsterdam), where he teaches HCI related courses and runs the usability lab.





Peter is a senior experience designer at Adaptive Path. Before joining Adaptive Path as the first employee in the Amsterdam studio, Peter worked for several interactive agencies in The Netherlands (General Design/Satama Interactive, EzGov, User Intelligence, Info.nl) where he worked for the ABN Amro Bank, the Rotterdam Harbour, Transavia Airlines, Elsevier Science, Delta Lloyd insurances, the SNS Bank, Kluwer Publishers and the Dutch Yellow Pages. His projects also took him to Germany (Vodafone), Finland (Nokia), the United Kingdom (Inland Revenue), Ireland (Yellow Pages) and once three weeks to Jamaica (Ministry of Finance).

Since 2001, Peter has helped organize many user experience events, ranging from the local Amsterdam UX Cocktail Hours, via the Dutch CHI conferences (he was program chair for The Web and Beyond in 2006, 2008 and 2010), the first three Euro IA conferences, and the IA Summit.

Berry studied Physics at the Technical University of Eindhoven. He acquired a PhD degree on the perception of synthetic speech at the Institute for Perception Research. Since 1989, he worked at Philips Research in Eindhoven in the area of user-system interaction. Over the years he led various groups of researchers clustered around themes like Information Ergonomics, Multimodal Interaction, User-Interface Concepts and Intelligent Interfaces. He was a member of the core team responsible for overall co-ordination, programmatic and usability aspects of the ‘Ambient Intelligence’ research laboratory, called HomeLab, at the Philips High Tech Campus. April 2003, he joined the staff of the Department of Industrial Design at the Technical University of Eindhoven as a full Professor working in the Designed Intelligence research group. Temporarily and on a part-time basis, he also held the position of Director of Education of this new faculty. Currently, Berry is heading the User Centered Engineering research group of the Industrial Design department. Berry is also chairman of the Design Platform Eindhoven.
