As a way to further my skills as a designer, especially right from the press of the Communication and Multimedia Design study, I took on the challenge of working at a design agency as a junior designer.

As a way to apply my learnings from the University, I decided to work as a freelance designer. Along the way I've mostly worked on marketing websites for a multitude of clients, but also a video projects.

For my final internship, I was fortunate enough to work with an amazing team of designers while working on a design challenge in the automotive industry. This experience really humbled me in my own skills, while also being an amazing learning journey.

During my internship, I've worked alongside the design team on most of the client projects. This includes working with design systems, responsive design, micro-interactions and much more. Alongside this, I've also explored how they might use Notion to better document, which they later implemented.

After my internship I was eager to keep working, and luckily enough I was able to do so. I worked on many of the brand products, like pitchdecks, investor statements, website elements, etc. Unfortunately had to leave for my new internship at Strakzat.

During my first intership I worked with the in-house design team on a multitude of projects. Mainly I've worked on the graphic design, while exploring the world of HMI design every once in a while.

During highschool I started a small business designing and building websites. It didn't last very long unfortunately, but it was a great pressure cooker to learn a lot!

Having finished highschool, I wanted to further discover my newfound passion for design. The choice wasn't hard to make. An awesome city, and great tutors to guide me along the way. Through the years I've come to find that I'm most passionate about digital product design, and have developed my skills further to suit that. The only thing left now is to complete a graduation internship.

During my highschool years I focused more on the technical classes, and therefore chose to follow the technasium program. In this program, we got to work with 'real' design challenges and were my first introduction to design process, albeit more the engineering side of things. Nevertheless, I was very intruiged and picked up learning Photoshop and designing all sorts of things. I even had a small business designing and building websites with a buddy of mine.

Figma is definitely my favorite tool, and I'm curious about the future of the company. Ever since I switched from Adobe XD my days have never been better! I'm constantly trying to push myself, creating complex prototypes, extensive component libraries with variants, and collaborating with others.

Ever since I've discovered Notion, my life has never been as well documented. It started out as a humble sprint board for our team project, and I've been adding everything from my life since. I try to convince my design teams to work with Notion, since I believe it's a great way to collaborate, document, and keep everything within one centralized tool.

Miro has been a recent addition to my toolbelt, but definitely important as well. I'm currently visualizing my entire design process here. From conception, to research, concepting, development, testing, and everything that could be relevant. Recently I've also been hosting several remote creative sessions with stakeholders and users.

Building websites just as I design them has been such a time saver on freelance projects. Having had the experience of developing websites with html, css, and javascript, it's been an easy switch, but a real time saver. I've been using it for my portfolio and freelance client projects ever since. It's especially helpful for my clients to edit their own websites.
