The Living Room

ABOUT US

Our Haus is more than a company — it’s a collaborative space where haus-mates (freelancers, CPH-certified facilitators, team) and guests (our clients & partners) build formats that make cyber policies work.

With each project we make tough policies usable and change the look and feel of the industry.

  • We are facilitators, designers, creators and developers teaming up with security professionals.

  • Cyber Policy Haus was founded by German Cybersecurity Policy Analyst Julia Schuetze in the heart of Europe - Gent - in October 2023. Inspired by the Bauhaus movement, Cyber Policy Haus connects the policy and security ecosystem with designers, artists and content creators to develop solutions for tricky policy challenges.

    • Honest → rooted in transparency and trust.

    • Accessible → simple, clear, and human-centered.

    • Diplomatic → bridging divides across cultures and hierarchies.

    • Community-driven → co-created by haus-mates and guests.

    • Innovative → fast, smart, and bold enough to challenge the status quo.

    • Receptive → listening deeply and adapting to real needs.

HA THANH THU NGUYEN
Information Designer

  • Observational, thoughtful, and curious — always asking “why” before jumping to solutions.

  • Bringing structure to chaos, from shaping visual concepts to untangling complex information.

  • Elevating anything to a new aesthetic level.

  • Always carry a tiny sketchbook and a pen, because that one idea can appear at any given moment.
