Selected work
-
Tidewatch
- The problem
- Members were cross-checking three sites before every trip, and two near-misses last season came from misread tide tables.
- What I did
- Interviewed eleven paddlers on the beach, then drew one screen that answers "can we go out at 10?" with a single go or wait, and the reasons underneath.
-
Korst Bakery
- The problem
- Loaves sold out by 9am and the owner was taking orders over text messages at 5am, one by one.
- What I did
- A pre-order page that shows tomorrow's bake, counts down what's left, and closes itself at 8pm. Built on a template the owner edits on her phone.
-
Halfsies
- The problem
- The beta had a dashboard with fourteen widgets. New users opened it, felt they owed someone money, and left.
- What I did
- Replaced the dashboard with one line, "You and Ines are square", and a list of recent spends. Rewrote every empty state and error with the support team.
-
Quayside Logistics
- The problem
- Planners scheduled barges in a shared spreadsheet with colour codes only two people remembered.
- What I did
- Sat in the control room for a week, then designed a timeline view where a booking is a block you drag along the quay. Clashes turn red before you let go.
About
- Based in Rotterdam, works across Europe
- Previously at a 40-person agency and a fintech startup
- Speaks English, Dutch and enough Portuguese to order lunch
I started out laying out a student newspaper and never really stopped thinking about where the eye lands first. These days that eye belongs to someone trying to book a barge berth or split an electricity bill, and my job is to make that take less thought.
I work in short loops: a rough sketch by the end of week one, something clickable by week two, and real people trying it before anything gets polished. I hand off with annotated files and a call with whoever is building it, because a design that survives handoff is the only kind that counts.

Annotate the handoff, not the mockup
Why my design files now ship with fewer screens and more sentences, and the four kinds of note developers actually read.
