Senior Design Specialist  ·  Design & Innovation

I began in electrical engineering, and later spent a year at Ashoka University studying the liberal arts: philosophy, political theory, and the history of ideas. That year broadened how I think about what design can do and who it should serve. I then studied interaction design at TU Delft, where I graduated cum laude, and since then I have worked at Deloitte Netherlands on early-stage financial and institutional products.

My work sits at the intersection of systems and people. I am most useful early, when the problem is still being defined, and when the decisions being made will shape everything that follows. Financial services, public institutions, enterprise software: these are the environments where I have done my best work, where the stakes are high enough that good design genuinely matters.

Outside of work, I spend time reading philosophy of technology, science and technology studies, and political theory. I also sketch, collect fountain pens, and keep returning to questions about how the things we build shape the futures available to us. I try to bring that same curiosity and care into my design practice.
