About me

I am an experienced UX/UI designer from the Netherlands. With over 16 years of experience and a strong background in product, brand, and marketing, I passionately strive to create seamless user experiences.


My design process involves data-supported user research, rapid iteration, and a user-focused UI.


Years of experience as a digital designer, art director, and UX/UI designer have helped me translate (complex) business objectives into relevant solutions for users. 


I strongly believe that a UX-focused approach bridges the gap between business objectives and enjoyable/relevant experiences for end-users, with the aim of creating valuable products and services.
