I'm Stefan Velthuys.

Most people call me Velthy.

Based in Lucerne, Switzerland, I design and build digital products.

I am dedicated to creating web designs and digital solutions that merge usability with aesthetic appeal, ensuring an exceptional user experience. I believe that combining usability and beauty is key.

Central to my design philosophy is the conviction that usability and aesthetics in a product should coexist harmoniously. By merging intuitive functionality with refined design, I aim to create products that engage users, promote positive interactions, and foster lasting relationships.

Whether it's website design, app development, or other digital creations, I tackle each project with a fresh perspective, keen to innovate and enhance the digital landscape. My goal is to deliver products that not only meet but surpass client expectations and to set new standards in user-centered design.

By combining creativity with strategic thinking, I aim to craft digital products that not only fulfill functional requirements but also offer a delightful and immersive user experience.

I am required.

Pretty bold statement, isn't it?

I am required is a wordplay, since my company is called required.
We are a digital agency for strategy, design, web development & WordPress solutions. We are a distributed workforce (remote team), with offices in Switzerland and Germany.

Say Hi

Be friendly, polite, direct.

If you have a project in mind, want to say hello, or have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.

The best way to reach me is by e-mail: stefan@velthy.net.

I'm not super active on social media, but I do check my notifications and messages. I'm on LinkedIn, Instagram, GitHub, X (Twitter)

You can also send me a message using the form below. This will just send an e-mail to me.
I did spend a great amount of time fine-tuning this form. Way too much time. For example: You can enter your e-mail or your phone number directly in the message field, and by clicking send, the form will check the contents of the message and then send it, or not. But, I'm getting off track, that could actually be a thing for my lab.

Again, the easiest way to reach me is by sending an e-mail to stefan@velthy.net
I'm really looking forward!
