I care about how people think and move through systems, and I turn what's messy into something clear.

about

I'm a product designer based in Amsterdam, designing the way I think: curious first, structured always.

Growing up in a trilingual, multicultural household made me curious about how people think and behave differently across contexts.

That curiosity eventually pulled me from neuroscience into product design, where I could build for behaviour instead of just studying it.

I've worked across discovery, systems, and execution, turning ambiguous problems into something clear, with a growing focus on design systems and service design.

I'm at my best asking the right questions and owning a problem end to end.
