Short resumé

A decade of experience as a Product- and Unicorn Designer and a lifetime of personal development, skill-honing and detecting bullshit.

I’ve worked with industry leaders as well as start-ups and am dedicated to making good people better, mentoring and building teams and doing DesignOps.

Additionally, I am an expert in the psychology of human behaviour, a great facilitator and a creative powerhouse.

About me

I have not had an average or linear life.

I’m the life lover, who have ‘walked the walk’ to ‘talk the talk’.

In 2011, I saw my own dad die and brought him back to life again by performing CPR.
In 2016, he died again and this time stayed dead. Less than a year later, most of my belongings were stolen during a break-in in my home and I’ve been fighting my way through life since to reclaim what I’ve lost, so I know how to handle and navigate bigger subjects like anger, loss, grief, PTSD and everything that comes with it.
Since then, I’ve also helped out in a car crash and prevented a suicide by providing the right psychological first aid: Listening.

Additionally, I’ve spent +2.000 hours self-studying and exploring various subjects within the realm of psychology and human behaviour.

In 2021, during the COVID19 lockdown, I went walking alone for 835 km to work on my inner self. It worked. More recently, I walked a Marathon on a Sunday, just because I was bored.

With time, I've gained enough experience to be excellent at what I do, but I will always strive to become better anyway. I’ve learned to relax by learning and I love to solve extremely complex problems - in life as well as in business.

I care about being a good human being before caring about my professional achievements, which is why you won't find them here.
I prefer to be real, respectful and humble and meet people where they are in life.

I like to mountain bike and skydive and have coached approx. 8.000 people in the art of indoor skydiving, but I also love just reading books. I have a passion for music and have taught myself how to play percussive fingerstyle guitar and piano and can play both instruments at the same time.

I’ve listened to 120.749 minutes of music on Spotify in 2023, have +15 years of experience as a DJ and I can rap the fast part of Eminem’s ‘Godzilla’.

When I set out to do something, I do it properly. When I commit to something, I fully commit - and I expect the same in return.

I’m a player/coach, I practice what I preach and I believe in peace, love and empathy. I only see failure as an opportunity to learn and get better.

I type in as an ‘INFJ’ if you’re into MBTI, a ‘fearful-avoidant-becoming-secure’ if you’re into attachment theory and a ‘Cancer’ if you’re into pseudoscience.

Sorry... Can’t say, signed an NDA

When you get so tired of not being able to show off your work because of NDA’s, that you design your own product.

How far do we need to drive before we stop taking car interfaces for granted?

Let’s build together

I’m currently unavailable for taking in new projects, but let's stay in touch and I’ll let you know when I’m available again.
