About Richard van der Westhuizen
Senior UX Designer at REALTOR.ca
My career began unconventionally in motocross racing, where I founded and grew South Africa’s largest independent motocross decal manufacturer. After 12 successful years, I sold the company, earned a BCom and an MBA with distinction from Aston Business School, and pivoted into UX design.
Now, as a Senior UX Designer for one of Canada’s largest industry associations, I blend my passion for design and business strategy to create user-centered solutions. I look forward to sharing my unique journey and insights to help others succeed in UX and beyond.
