Intro

I'm an experienced web & ui designer with coding background.

I love to create highly functional sites and interfaces with a timeless design. Good analytical thinking helps me in setting up a clean architecture to build on.

I'm looking forward to join a forward thinking team to build honest products and services. I also enjoy experimenting with new tools and technologies to optimise workflows and productivity.

Professional Ethos

"Doe wel en zie niet om"

Always do good → you gain trust and respect
Being open and honest towards colleagues → trust from team
Creating transparent, honest products → trust from customers
Discrimination has no place: race, gender, age, religion → everyone equal
Everyone is part of the success → achievements are for and by the team
Failure is allowed → personal growth is based on learning from mistakes
Good leadership is based on listening, supporting and taking tough decisions
