Introduction
I’m a designer who embraces the entire design process, from discovery and defining to designing detailed micro-interactions. During my time at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, I specialized in User Experience Design. In addition, I took specialization routes in interaction design and behavioral sciences to create exceptional digital interactive user experiences.
My Goals
My goal is to create meaningful technological experiences that are accessible, easy to use and provide people with an efficient way to deal with obstacles or to interact with brands. I love products and services that have a positive impact on people their lives and aligns with my personal values.
My Vision
I believe in empowering people with information and technology in a way that they can make tasks easier or better decisions for themselves, saving time and allowing them to focus on the stuff in life that really matters.
I’m a firm believer that the best design solutions come from user research. This allows us to understand expectations, behaviors, needs, motivations, pains and create products that people love to use.
I use real user insights to explore different directions for a specific design problem. I do this with a big focus on usability and the experience of users.
I tend to look at designs on a micro-interaction level to make sure the tiniest detail of information is conveyed in the right way. When I design, I like to start with paper sketches, digitalize in Sketch/Figma (and if there’s time, a make some nice animations in Principle!).
Besides design, I like to stay active in my free time. I like to play basketball or go for a run. I also enjoy going out to concerts or festivals, traveling, parks, try new food, playing video games, cooking, hanging out with my friends, and binge-watching movies & shows. I’m also interested in photography, illustration, music production, and art!
I like to travel to experience new things and meet new people. Before corona I made a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok and the year before that I made a trip to Rome, Italy. I’m aiming to go somewhere in South America or Africa next.
I’ve been a New York Knicks fan since I was 15. So visiting an NBA game at Madison Square Garden, NYC, is something on my bucket list!
I really like to cook and I frequently try new recipes (with a 20% chance of failure).
