Creative, sporty and a bit of a nerd

As a mother of a one-year-old, I live with my husband in Heinenoord, a quaint village near Rotterdam. I have a passion for coaching and supporting others.

​

My experience as a lead in a design system team has taught me valuable lessons about communication, setting expectations, and collaborating towards shared goals. This role has shaped me into a considerate and patient colleague, while I continue to prioritise honesty and clarity in my communication and actions.

​

I enjoy a variety of tasks, including research and design, but I also have a strong preference for strategic work.

​

Currently, I'm exploring front-end component development to discover how we can enhance the Design-to-Development process using Figma and AI automation.

​

I observe designers moving into consultative and supervisory positions as AI takes on more design responsibilities. In this changing landscape, design systems are becoming increasingly vital.

Protagonists make the people who work for them feel not just motivated but also inspired. Their tolerance and easy sociability makes it easy for them to relate to their colleagues. They are hardworking, reliable, and eager to help.
