The Team Behind Spoom

About

Spoom Design is owned and operated by Daan Lindhout, a design executive with 25+ years of UX leadership experience — currently designing and building the products I've always wanted to exist.

I've spent my career leading design organizations at companies like Workday, Axon, Qualtrics, and Microsoft. At Axon, I built the UX org from the ground up as VP of UX Design, Research & Technical Writing. At Workday, I led a global Product Design across the product portfolio.

Today, I'm channeling that experience into hands-on product building — exploring the intersection of financial technology, systematic trading, iOS development, and AI-assisted workflows. I also teach graduate UX Design & Research as an Adjunct Professor at Northeastern University.

Based in Burien, Washington — where the mountains meet the sea and the coffee is excellent.
