I'm a designer based in Maryland with experience in brand design, web design, and illustration. I've worked as a professional in-house and freelance designer for over 5 years.
For my education, I have a B.A. in Visual Arts with a concentration in Graphic Design and a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). I also have received additional certificates and training courses related to design and tech development.
Growing up in the Netherlands, I fell in love with the beautiful visuals and bright colors of the tulips and modern art. At the same time, technology played a huge role in my life that allowed me to have access to a wide amount of information, such as teaching us new ways to communicate. I knew early on that I wanted to pursue a career that would further improve technology and design that is helpful, impactful, and meaningful.
I've dedicated my life to learning new mediums and methods to create visuals to help people understand more about our world - from illustrations to digital tools.
I focus on understanding user needs and experiences. This approach is important to me because it ensures my work truly resonates with the people I’m designing for.
As a kid, I've always enjoyed traveling around the world. Exploring other countries has motivated me to unify people through design and technology.
