I’m a design engineer living in Amsterdam.

I work with small teams to turn complicated ideas into approachable software. Before that, I studied interaction design and made things out of wood.

Say hello by email, or explore my recent projects.

On weekends, I collect tiny experiments in the .

Designing prototypes for early-stage teams and building useful tools for friends.

Projects

Near & Far

An illustrated travel journal for journeys by train.

Common Thread

A shared notebook for friends who make things together.

The sketchbook

Three shapes, one rhythm. A study in repetition and the way simple forms feel different when they move together.

An ongoing collection of small visual experiments.
