Designing experiences for humans is my thing
I am a creative, hands-on, hybrid profile. I like designing and crafting solutions from start to finish. Talking to people, listening, trying out solutions and starting from scratch are the things I love to do. Also, I like electric skateboards.
Designing and implementing great user experiences and the User Interface are my day-to-day activities. On a professional level, I strive towards an environment where creativity is stimulated and rewarded.
With experience with user interface design, research and function analysis, I consider myself an appropriate candidate to take on a variety of tasks.
“Whoop ass, look good.”

User Experience Design, User interfaces & functional analysis for a single employee journey platform – Francis. Francis has grown from a smartphone application of 10.000 users who voluntarily installed it on their phone, into a web version that gathered 15.000 unique employees – helping them every day. The platform has grown into a strategic asset of the organisation and an example of the Employee Experience culture.
Throughout the entire Francis project, you could say I was involved in almost every step; on a functional and visual level.
