I'm an industrial designer from The Netherlands. I graduated from the Advanced Product Design master's program at Umeå Institute of Design in June 2023, and am currently part of the industrial design team at Above.
My work as a designer rests on a combined foundation of engineering and industrial design skills. Driven by creativity and curiosity, I use these skills to create holistic yet detailed proposals for physical products.
Through working at various design agencies I have developed a flexible and collaboration-oriented work ethic—always adapting my process to the challenge at hand.
Product design; design for manufacturing; strategic design; user experience design; design research; interaction and interface design; visual storytelling and communication.
