Digital Product Designer in The Netherlands

Available for interesting projects :)

2 years ago

‍Born in 1993, I grew up in the Netherlands. During my teenage years, I started exploring the possibilities of the web and has been my passion ever since. I love being adventurous, trying new things, travelling the unknown, learning new skills, and meeting interesting people.

From a young age, I had a lively fascination with the way things work, and the effect design and technology have on our everyday lives. Since then, I started numerous side-projects and startups (some more successful than others) while studying Industrial design and Business Innovation.

I have broad working experience, ranging from large corporates to brand-new startups. In the past years, I have built over 40+ apps, platforms, and websites. My work usually starts when the pixels need to be moved, but my academic background and technical knowledge enable me to speak the language and carry out adjacent disciplines, like user experience design or writing code.

Work Experience

Next to bootstrapping my latest project Passionfruit, I help other companies by joining them as a UI designer with experience in UX and front-end development

2021 — Now

In 2022, I co-founded Passionfruit after researching the transition that food producers undergo when keeping up with the increasing sustainability demand. We found out that many companies are struggling to form a coherent narrative about how, where, and by whom their products are made.

Together with our team of three and launching partner Superunie, we created the MVP. I am responsible for the design and development of the web application and marketing website.

2018 — 2020
