About me
I'm a designer who loves to solves complex problems with (bad) humour, yes really trust me on this one. I work and live in and near Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I have 2+ years of experience as a product designer at MoreApp.
Currently I'm working on a great way to evolve the design team. Started out on my own, now focusing on making it scalable with multiple designers.
I thrive in multi discipliner team situations, as my core philosophy on products is that it is a team effort. Therefore, you can't solve this alone.
I love...
Working on complex design systems. As I tinker in the design system Basket UI for MoreApp, and also developing a new design system together with our current Product Team. I love to strive with the whole team for an elegant solution in systems. Thus resulting in a good Design and Development cooperation in the product team.
What I also love to do, is be creative in my free time. I play bassguitar, make illustrations, design posters for local bands and many more things I like to explore.
Make difficult things easy, not easy things difficult
A cheesy quote
Product Designer at MoreApp
Do you design forms? That's a question I get a lot regarding my work at MoreApp. I always laugh at this, because I get the confusing.
No, I don't design forms. I design the tool that our users give them power to create and send forms.
Currently I'm starting to go from a “one man design team” to a fleshed out UX-team.
Not only busy with pixels
Besides coming up with “the next big thing” for MoreApp, I’m also focusing on how to improve the current hand-off with our developers. This means intense sessions about our current components and screens.
Side-Stuff
Illustrate, everything
During the everyday humdrum of live I love to sit down, put on some nice relaxing progressive metal and just enjoy the moment with my pencil. I mostly draw cats, as you guessed it, I love cats. I also tend to try out different things, as long as it intrigues my own interest and ✨ sparks joy ✨
Need more fuzz with your fuzz?
Playing bass in a band from then Hague is really awesome. Especially adding more fuzz to one single bass line then your fuzzy wall can comprehend. Are you fan of any type of rock, alt-rock or just loud-rock? I've got you covered
