I am an inquisitive researcher who loves to create in an exploratory design process.

Hi!

I studied at the Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands and am now living in the greater Indianapolis area looking for new opportunities.

 I'm interested in conducting user research to inform empathetic and sustainable design.

My Vision

In the future, design will prioritize user protection and personal goal attainment.

Designers will empathize fostering diversity and sustainability. Delving into stakeholder and user contexts, embracing both quantitative and qualitative data. Technology will seamlessly blend into daily life, encouraging reflection. 

Digital UX and UI will create smart, adaptive, connected technology, while material research supports long-term sustainability
in physical design.

My Bachelor's degree focused on the fundamentals of design and physical prototyping. I then explored digital design and interfaces within my Master's.

While this portfolio showcases my most recent and significant design projects, I am happy to provide more details about my skills upon request.
