Hi there! My name is Sébastien Rombout.

I am a Senior UX/UI Designer and Team Lead with over 20 years of experience in digital creation, working at the intersection of design, product, and technology.

With a hybrid background spanning UX/UI leadership, product analysis, and front-end collaboration, I act as a bridge between business needs, creative vision, and technical constraints to deliver meaningful, coherent, and feasible solutions. My work covers the full lifecycle of a product — from ideation and workshops to high-fidelity design, production, and quality control.

Alongside my digital career, I am also an active musician, producer, and filmmaker. I lead my own music project as a singer, guitarist, and producer, and I direct music videos and films with a strong focus on visual storytelling. These creative projects deeply influence my design practice, strengthening my sense of rhythm, emotion, narrative, and creative direction.

Whether in digital products, music, or film, my approach remains the same: crafting experiences that are both technically solid and emotionally engaging.

Program Manager Data & Analytics at dFakto

  I had the pleasure of working with Sébastien for over 7 years on multiple customer projects. Sebastien brings a rare mix of "artistic" skills, deep UX expertise, and solid business understanding. He consistently designs user experiences that are intuitive, impactful, and aligned with real business goals. His ability to bridge user needs, technical constraints, and client expectations is truly impressive. Beyond delivery, Sebastien has a strong people and team focus, contributing to a positive, collaborative environment while remaining clearly results-driven. His way of working is agile, structured, and pragmatic, making him a trusted partner for both teams and clients. Thanks to this unique combination, we were able to deliver many projects successfully and above expectations.  

Marc de Burlet

beVault Product Owner at dFakto

   I've had the pleasure of working with Sébastien for the past 8 years at dFakto, and I can confidently say he's one of those rare professionals who truly does it all. As our Lead UX/UI Designer, Sébastien is a real Swiss army knife. His years of experience as a Scrum Master give him a unique perspective that bridges design, development, and team dynamics seamlessly. But where he really shines is in his ability to tackle complex challenges. His work on beVault is a perfect example. Sébastien took on the challenge of simplifying a data warehouse automation platform, a technically complex software, and made it accessible and intuitive. He didn't just make it look good; he fundamentally improved how users interact with powerful enterprise functionality. Sébastien was also excellent in our rebranding journey from dataFactory to beVault, bringing strategic vision and flawless execution to what became a defining moment for our product. Beyond his technical brilliance, Sébastien brings something equally valuable: he lifts the spirit of everyone around him. His positive energy, cultural insight, and genuine care for his colleagues make coming to work better for all of us. He's deeply involved in shaping our company culture and creating the kind of working atmosphere where people genuinely enjoy collaborating, something that's invaluable and too often overlooked. Any organization would be incredibly fortunate to have Sébastien. He's talented, versatile, and a joy to work with.

  I've had the pleasure to work with Sébastien for quite some years. As a multi-talented developer of animations, video and all sorts of (interactive) applications, he always succeeds in finding and proposing the right solution for clients and colleagues. At the same time, Sébastien works very fast and thoroughly, in order to meet short deadlines, without compromising.
