Über mich
Service Designer and UX Designer with a strong focus on social innovation, digitalization, and citizen participation. As a consultant and service designer, I work with clients from the public and private sectors to create projects with social impact. Digital or analog, both are important when creating the full user experience. Solving challenges in interdisciplinary and diverse teams triggers the best in me. What do I bring to the table? infinite curiosity, experience in user-centered design, behavioural sciences, business innovation design, and a strong visual and pragmatic way of working.
