PhD Candidate at Designing Intelligence Lab at the TU Delft
I am an Interaction Designer based in Delft, the Netherlands, interested in how we can better interact with the intelligent systems in our lives. Further more I love to prototype interactive interventions using emerging technologies such as VR and AI. To that end, I am currently doing a PhD at the Designing Intelligence Lab at the TU Delft.

Education
MSc - Design for Interaction
Delft University of Technology (2017 - 2020)
During my masters, I deepened my knowledge of user experience and interaction design. In addition, I had a unique focus on combining this with prototyping techniques, both physical and digitial. For example, Virtual Reality and realtime visualisation techniques. Graduating with a 9.
BSc - Industrial Design Engineering
Delft University of Technology (2013 - 2017)
In my bachelor in Industrial Design Engineering I learned how to engineer physical and digital products that lead to behavioural change in users and have a smaller climate impact. Graduating with an 8.5.
Minor Abroad - Industrial Product Design
Loughborough University Design School (2015 - 2016)
I participated in the Erasmus program to study a semester at the Design School of Loughborough University.
