Overview
I’m a freelance designer based in Leuven (BE). I have about 6 years of professional experience in digital product development, with a focus on user experience (UX) & user interaction (UI). Though, as a typical jack of all trades, I’ve worn many hats and am eager to collect new ones still. Mostly with one purpose: to help develop people, teams, and products.
