As a product designer with a background in anthropology, my designs combine usability with clean aesthetics while always keeping the user front of mind. I dream, visualise and push boundaries.
I love expressing my eye for detail in clean, intuitive designs. I'm people focused, organised and most importantly obsessive about a good user experience. After working in the design field as a UX designer, product manager and UX lead, I know good design is core to who I am.
I live in Melbourne where I spend my time taking photos, running, hosting dinner parties, doing yoga and exploring new places. I was born in the Netherlands and have also lived in Copenhagen, Sydney and London.

“I’m a dreamer. Unrealistic? Sure, sometimes. More often though it allows me to think visually. If I can see it, I’ll do anything to make it happen.”
