About

I am currently working as a UX Designer and Front-End Developer at Acando / CGI's Innovation Lab, in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Before this, I received a Master's degree in Interaction Design at Chalmers University of Technology, and a Bachelor's degree in Computing Science in The Netherlands, where I've also worked as UX designer and front-end developer.

I'm passionate about shaping technology as a beautiful and empowering tool for people to realise their own ambitions.

I enjoy all parts of the design and development process, and in particular I like creating interactive prototypes to validate ideas or guide product development. Above all, I strive to keep learning and giving back through sharing and teaching.
