I am a UX Designer & Researcher with MSc in Design for Interaction from TU Delft, with a background of BSc in Industrial Engineering.
I get my power from the blend of diverse skills, perspectives, and experiences of a designer and an engineer. I believe in my unique inspiration coming from this variety.
I am intrigued by the unique experiences of people. Through my strong social and research skills, I love to get to know the users deeply and shape my designs according to them. I seek ways to better understand human behavior, needs and interactions with digital systems to bring quality to the user experience and interactive involvement.
Me ?
A bit more personal about me...
My friends define me as a social butterfly. I love spreading warmth towards the people around me. I have a great energy to try new experiences, meet with new people and do everything with a big smile on my face.
And I define myself as a world citizen.
I love traveling around the world, experiencing different places, people and languages. I am amazed by the world we live in and especially by the unique differences between cultures and lifestyles.
What is special
about my design work?
​
I tailor the project process and end-design to suit both the unique context and user group of the project.
I am driven by a fundamental belief: 'one size does not fit all.' I approach projects with this mindset, employing a diverse set of UX tools and methods tailored to the project's needs. This means that my design processes vary between projects, ensuring that I use the most fitting tools for the task at hand.
Also, I am deeply committed to understanding the real needs of users. Through user research and testing, I gather feedback and shape designs to align with user preferences. By humanizing digital experiences and making complex systems more intuitive, I aim to create products that appeal to
the human spirit and enhance the overall user experience.
What do I care in my design work ?
​
1 INCLUSIVITY
I care about giving voice to minority users who are usually unseen within the bigger picture. I aim to make the users feel valued and included through reflecting their needs and identities on the designs that they interact with.
In my design work, I prioritize inclusivity as a counterbalance to the disconnectedness prevalent in the modern world. I value collaborating with diverse users, particularly those whose perspectives are often overlooked. By challenging the norm of designing for the majority, I ensure that everyone has a voice in the design process, aiming to foster platforms where all users have positive and intuitive experiences. Through meticulous user research, I capture the full spectrum of user experiences. My design mission opposes the homogenizing effects of globalization, embracing differences as opportunities rather than challenges.
2 PRESERVING
THE CORE WHILE INNOVATING
​
I strive to keep a company's unique identity and core values while going though an innovative transmission.
I believe that while the current global system demands constant evolution, this shouldn't compromise a company's fundamental values. I work to strike a balance between innovation and keeping the identity of the company by closely engaging with the organization and internalizing its culture and values. I ensure that stakeholders have a voice on the end product through involving them in the design process with Agile processes like facilitating scrum or
co-creation sessions.
What I find
inspiring
about design ?
​
Design is fascinating for me in a way that it gives you the ability to look at the problem from different perspectives and challenges you to try something new each time.
I find it inspiring that from a design perspective, there isn't a single solution to a problem. I am encouraged by design to learn and experiment with new methods or tools, which keeps me in a constant learning process. I find it exciting to try different paths of solutions as it allows for the creation of something unique each time. I appreciate the unexpected results that arise from these processes, adding dynamism and excitement to my work.
