A bit about me

I'm Inti Valderas Caro, a UX & Interaction Designer based in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. I hold a Master's degree in Interaction Design and currently design digital experiences at VRT MAX, Flanders' public broadcaster, as a UX Design consultant via iO.

Beyond my work at VRT MAX, I serve as a board member at Open Knowledge Belgium and coordinate the Open Summer of Code โ€” connecting students with open-source civic tech projects.

Through Valderas, I consult on interactive strategy, design, and operational tooling โ€” from setting up Zoho One for Nitra to marketing automations and CRM data workflows. I've also worked with organisations like KBC, Smooth Sailing, Engie, and LUCA School of Arts.

I'm particularly fascinated by the intersection of interaction design, machine learning, and artificial intelligence โ€” a topic I've also explored in a talk at UX Beers โ€” always looking for ways to make complex systems feel simple and human.

Don't just take my word for it

Here's what happens when you let other people write your bio.

Valerie Czaplewski

"I really enjoyed working with Inti. He is a strong UX designer with great expertise, who always starts from the user's perspective. Inti isn't afraid to be critical, asks the right questions, and consistently gives constructive feedback. What stands out most is his calm, positive attitude. He communicates clearly, takes the time to explain things well, and is always ready to help. An absolute asset to any team."

Yasin Yer

"Inti is self-critical designer with an eye for detail and design. Someone who is enormously flexible in adapting to new technologies and software. No question or problem remains unsolved in his hands. Thanks to his support and guidance I became the designer I am today."

"I first met Inti when he was working for us through OSOC (Open Summer of Code 2019) and later as an intern at Engie under my supervision. Inti thrives as a creative innovative mind, he loves a challenge and brings new out-of-the-box ideas to the table. I never worry when Inti is on the team, because I know he is dedicated and sees the projects through with a good dose of positive, helping and team-work attitude."

"At LUCA School of Arts, Inti represented 3,500 students on our board of directors for two years. Together with a few other students, he managed to develop an even better participation model for students during the height of the COVID period. We are grateful to him for this impressive achievement and the wonderful collaboration."

Bolat Tleubayev

"I was working with Inti for about a month at Open Summer of Code. During that whole period Inti was overseeing our team of students as a coach. His input to the team effort was great both for morale and KPI achievement. He was able to motivate, direct, and coach every team member efficiently."

Kris Wauters

"A wonderful collaboration that grew from a purely informal introduction. The most important thing about Inti Valderas Caro is that you can always count on him as an enthusiastic entrepreneur, brimming with innovative ideas. I can highly recommend Inti."
