It all started in 2012. That year I began studying Application Development at Tinwerf The Hague, from which I graduated with a diploma. During this program, I completed two internships and developed skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Soon during my studies, I realized I wanted more than just programming. I find it fascinating to continuously work on the interaction between humans and products. This insight led me to explore further and choose to pursue Communication and Multimedia Design (Bachelor's degree).
During my third year, I started as a working student User Experience designer at Gearbox Innovations. I completed an internship there and stayed on after graduation. At Gearbox Innovations, I was able to develop my skills in designing and developing products. I worked on machine displays, software packages, webshops, mobile apps, and much more. Here I developed expertise in Interaction Design, Visual Design, video editing, and even Angular development.
