About

I live in Breda, together with my girlfriend and Bonnie the cat. The vast majority of my modest apartment is confiscated by my games collection. With over 350+ boardgames, I'm always up for a play.

Originating from that hobby, I think it is important to bring engagement, storytelling, playfulness and, above all, value to the user.

It would be amazing to bring this to your projects as well.

Work Experience & Education

In 2019 I graduated from my Masters 'Design for Interaction' at the Delft University of Technology.
As part of my studies, I did an internship as a toy designer at Yulu in Hong Kong. Following, I did yet another  internship for my graduation at UNGA, where I sticked around as a UX designer.
