Amsterdam • 1995

My passion drives me to design sophisticated products that simplify users' processes and address their challenges. My design journey began at SintLucas [1] in Eindhoven, where I gained experience by designing a lot of interfaces and working on personal projects on the side. I later had the opportunity to work at Withlocals and complete my graduation internship at media&more (now Einfach).

Upon graduating in 2015, I decided to move to Amsterdam in order to further develop my skills and gain additional experience. While in Amsterdam, I received my propaedeutics diploma from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. During this time, I was fortunate enough to co-found Skotty with Mees Boeijen [2]. I chose to leave my studies and dedicate myself full-time to Skotty. Working on Skotty has given me the chance to hone my skills as a designer and founder through the use of design thinking.


Currently I am working as a product designer at Akker [3], a design agency in Amsterdam. I help small startups and enterprises improve their product's user experience by collaborating with clients to design effective solutions that address their needs and goals.

In my free time, I am working on Lomo [4], a project together with Mees Boeijen and Mitchel Anneveldt [5]. Lomo is a beautiful disposable camera in your phone. It's a project born out of a desire to simplify the process of capturing and preserving life's moments. Through Lomo, we aim to offer a seamless and enjoyable experience for users, making memories tangible and accessible.
