My Story

My most recent work Final Touch. Was with De Treeswijkhoeve, a two starred Michelin restaurant in the south of the Netherlands where I designed a full concept for a memorable, innovative dining experience. In this competitive and continues developing culinary world it is hard to stand out besides the service and creating nourishing dishes. Having led this project for half a year as an industrial product designer in a work environment with mostly hospitality and chef backgrounds has taught me business goals, engineering constraints, user experience design in a different setting and understanding designers value.  

I graduated from the Technical University of Eindhoven with a master’s degree in Industrial Product Design and HAS University of Applied Sciences with a specialization in Packaging & Design. I enjoy challenging myself to stay ordinary by understanding consumers needs and wishes, experimenting with materials and develop hundreds of prototypes to design succesful valuable, sustainable and innovative products.

I grew up in a village in middle/north of the Netherlands also called as world’s potato city, in a mixed-nationality household. I got introduced to different cultures and was fascinated about each cuisine. While prioritizing my sport at that time, I found peace in baking, crafting and being in nature which stayed in my daily routine. I am a busy bee who always sees a new project in everything if it is an old blazer that needs to be fixed, has curiosity about a certain product process and make it myself or I spend hours in the kitchen experimenting with recipes to make the best products for on my food truck’s menu.
