About

I'm a curious, playful designer who likes to explore tech and its empowering capabilities. I love to create concepts and bring them into (virtual) reality through visualization, experience or storytelling. My strengths lie in reflecting on what I am doing, creating tangible and digital prototypes, and having a user-centred approach. I am an excellent listener, I take a calm, active, playful but critical attitude during work. I like to tackle difficult problems and don´t shy away from a challenge.

I was a Field hockey trainer for small children just starting to play field hockey. and later on teenagers from 16-18 years old as well. I created physical and technical training each week to train the teams to get better at playing Field hockey, bond as a team, and most importantly have fun playing sports together.
