About

I'm a designer, musician and student based in the Netherlands. As a product designer, I am passionate about helping solve complex problems into visually stunning and easy to understand designs. From solving difficult UX problems, to designing delightful interfaces; I take great joy out of the whole process.

Besides design, I have been composing and producing music for 10 years. I'm intrigued by music software design and simplifying music making for novices.

Currently, I'm studying at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Enschede, The Netherlands. Prior to that, I graduated in interactive design at Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht, and worked for clients at different digital agencies.

Projects

CommScan is a technology developed by Bureau Zuidema for professional teams to analyze communication behavior.

In late 2023, I was approached by Brthrs Agency to design the mobile CommScan app for their client, Bureau Zuidema. Within a few weeks, I transformed the initial user flows into a full prototype, including motion design.

Scheduled is an app that allows you to schedule written text messages and send them automatically with services like iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS & Email, allowing you stay in touch with people around you at the moments that matter.

In late 2022, I was approached by the founder of Scheduled to redesign their then-called “Scheduled Classic” app from the ground up. I took on the project, and over the following months, worked on it part-time alongside my full-time university studies.
