I've also had the opportunity to teach Ethnography and Design at universities such as the University of Amsterdam and the University of Coimbra.

Ethnography

Trained as an anthropologist, I leverage ethnography to unveil insights that form the foundation of empathetic, resilient, and inclusive designs.

Product strategy & vision

I believe success is when design and business collaborate. By aligning on north stars, teams can collectively make visions a reality.

User & product ecosystem

Design has a responsibility. Considering the holistic user and product ecosystem, I oversee the solution's impacts beyond just a device.

Product discovery

Using exploratory research or creative explorations, I conduct discoveries to not only find new opportunities but to sense-check what is regarded as facts.

Futures & foresights

Through exploring weak signals and megatrends, design can envision possibilities for solutions that last.

Navigating ambiguities

By delving into insights, analysis, and exercising patience, I unravel layers of complexity to gain and convey clarity.

I am more than a sum of pixels.

I love facilitating collaboration, understanding different points of view and taming chaos.


When not in front of the screen, you can see me roam around museums, forests, or ceramic studios. I'm also often found concocting culinary creations in the kitchen.


Recently, I've been exploring alternative design approaches. Need book recommendations or just fancy a chat about sustainability? Hit me up anytime!
