As an independent digital product designer, I specialise in integrating digital, UX, visual storytelling, and identity design to craft innovative and user-centric digital products. Drawing on eight years of experience in the field, I offer expertise across all stages of the product cycle, from conceptualising ambitious ideas to rapid prototyping and bringing products to market.
Show moreBefore venturing into independent work, I’ve worked as a product designer at Kiwi.com, where I collaborated with a large scale team to create the best travel experience for our users. Before that I co-founded and worked at the two-person business Sólide Agency, with which we operated from Barcelona, Spain, serving both Dutch and Spanish clients.
During and after my study I had multiple freelance jobs and internships with companies like Studio Louter (where I designed interactive exhibitions for museums), Sign Language Coffee Bar and Xeed.
The three most important lessons I learned in the years I spent doing the above (and from the great people I got to work with) are:
- Good design requires hard work and doing many iterations
- You should fail fast, fail early and fail often (to come to success)
- Keep it simple, stupid (KISS)
