About

I’m a design lead based in Amsterdam, leading teams to build digital products that people love and trust.

About

Design Leadership

With over 18 years of experience in digital design, I lead design and development teams and guide stakeholders through successful digital transformation journeys. Motivating team members to deliver their best work and helping them feel truly inspired is where my strength comes in. I have built multiple teams that consistently deliver their best work, and creating environments where teams can thrive is what truly drives me.

Design that works

I’m passionate about creating smart user friendly experiences that solve real problems and help businesses achieve their goals. For me, great design is not just about looking good, it is about driving engagement and delivering measurable results. That is where I thrive. I deeply understand this balance, and it is what motivates me every day.
