About
Early in my carreer I had the opportunity to work for different digital agencies (such as Bloodyminded and Bolden). During this time I worked as an interaction designer and front-end engineer. Seeing code and pixels turn into an experience is something I loved. And seeing this experience being used people gave me even more energy.
In 2009 I started a digital agency with 3 other friends I met during my time at college. At STATE OF_ I was able to explore every aspect of running a business. From contact with clients, project management, design and development. I discovered what I loved, which was creating digital experiences.
I also found out I could share my ideas more easily by prototyping and designing them. Slowly switching to becoming a full-time designer. When I joined Voiceworks, it was the first time I worked at a product organisation, I noticed a different pace. No more pitches you need rush out. It was about building relationships with your users. The importance of user research and emphaty became clear to me. No longer was it only about building things right, but also about building the right thing.
In early 2016 I joined Zoover as a User Experience Designer. I joined a team of talented designers where I further grew as a designer. I worked closely with our management team, organising Design Sprints to solve problems and helping to create a vision and product strategy.
I experienced how to set up A/B tests and use data to explain design decisions. I worked together with a user researcher and set up countless of user tests. After 3 years at Zoover, I also helped with a rebranding phase. I set up a Design Language System from scratch. The achievement I’m most proud of is working on and launching an MVP to transform the business.
