I’m an Experience Designer based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I love working on products that are thoughtful, smart, and meaningful from start to finish. I worked on various large scale, long term projects that involved all realms of user experience, from visual design, service design, to business strategy. As an experience designer and a visual designer, I was leading both design teams and projects.

In my process, I am responsible for all UX phases from concept workshops with clients, user and design research, information architecture, wireframing, prototyping, and user testing. I incorporate visual design explorations at the beginning, developing and refining while solving UX problems and planning new features.


Working in Designit, an international design agency (14 locations), my projects included collaborations with teams from offices worldwide that exposed me to different design processes and methods.

I'm incredibly passionate about digital design and consider it to be one of the best platforms for experimentation with visuals, creative coding, information architecture, and interaction. I'm most fulfilled when part of a multidisciplinary team and believe it’s important to be challenged by colleagues and clients. I always learn from my teammates and aim to create a comfortable, fruitful creative environment.

I'm currently a master student in Media Design, Experimental Publishing, at Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam. I'm further exploring my passion for creative coding, web development, programming, etc. The program explores the act of “making public” in the current age of digital media. We address different social-political subjects while developing tools and methods of critical thinking. It is a combination of theoretical, technical, and practical work that I intend to incorporate in my career as well.

I would love to join a creative environment where I can enjoy my practice and contribute in a meaningful way.
