What Recent Students Say

Simon - Experience Lead

Gary's GRAMS framework- a structured and rapid way of running and decoding user interviews has become the de facto standard within our office

Maite - Design Strategy

Not only the content was very interesting and applicable, but the session itself had a super clear and engaging structure.

In fact, it is so applicable that I have already absorbed the content and used it in a Design Sprint session with the team.

Olga - UX researcher

I would like to thank you for today's lecture. Not only was the theory very interesting and clearly presented, but the opportunity to try it out immediately with afterward's commentary was extremely beneficial! I could openly tell you that it was the most interesting lecture I've seen throughout the year.

"If you don’t ask, you don’t get. The best insights often come from the simplest questions. User research is not about answers, it's about discovering the right questions."

Gary van Broekhoven

Recently, I was honoured with a nomination for the 2024 Master Teacher of the Year Award by Harbour Space University!

But..

When I first ventured into research, I’ll admit, I wasn’t very good. I believed that conducting customer interviews was all about rigidly following the process and "walking in their shoes" without much deeper insight.

My “soft skills” were more like blunt instruments, lacking finesse.

However, during my 27 years as a consumer psychologist and behavioural designer, interviewing people from all walks of life, I’ve discovered what consistently works.

I’ve led global teams across multiple industries including healthcare, finance, transport and the toy industry, completing over 200 projects for major brands like NASA, Disney, and American Express.

Today my GRAMS and NOREX frameworks have become benchmarks in academic and innovation circles, and now I’m eager to share with you everything I know that get's you actionable insights from your interviews!

What clients and students say

His ability to apply real life examples to tackle different challenges, along with his extensive understanding of tools and processes, gives him the ability to effortlessly transform raw data into actionable insights and innovative solutions. An inspiring mentor to learn from and fantastic person to work with!

Lillian - UX Designer

Gary is definitely one of the best professors I’ve had in my academic career. I feel like his passion and energy made the experience beyond enjoyable. Wish he’d have more classes. Gosh I can’t remember listening so actively to anyone that wasn’t an actor in Game of Thrones. He’s a star!

David - Head of Design

Gary is, without a doubt, one of the people I learned the most from in my entire design career. I worked with Gary for multiple years now in different capacities, not only leading together digital transformation and innovation-driven initiatives for global clients but also leading cross-functional, cross-location teams together.
