Over deze freelancer

With a background in design and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, I began my career in industrial and automotive design before transitioning to digital products and quality in 2019. Since then, I've worked in SaaS, eCommerce, and emerging technologies, gaining experience creating designs that align closely with business objectives. During my time at Square, I developed my ability to balance depth and scale by leading user testing, design reviews, and improving the experience and reliability across web, mobile, and point-of-sale systems, fostering growth and stability.

Additionally, I've freelanced with a wide range of startups, studios, and founders, from early-stage apps defining their first MVPs to established brands refining complex product ecosystems. I lead complete design projects, develop flexible systems, and help clients translate their visions into user-friendly, meaningful products that can withstand revisions. 

What drives me is the pursuit of thoughtful execution: it brings peace to complex issues and coherence to ambitious ideas. I prefer to work with teams that value exploration as much as precision, where experimentation is encouraged, and design serves as the connection between people and goals.

I'm looking for projects that spark my curiosity and expand my craft; opportunities to collaborate with teams that are detail-oriented, think with intention, and build with conviction. 

After living in the Netherlands for a year, and living in Amsterdam West, I run my design studio. Although I'm learning Dutch, I primarily speak English and am very approachable and friendly. I like to tailor my communication to make everyone feel heard. So don't hesitate to get in touch—I'm ready.
