Education

I started my education in graphic and media design at ‘’ Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam’’. There, I learned to create visual communications to convey messages in an effective and aesthetically pleasing manner. I focused on tasks and responsibilities such as : Designing web pages, brochures, logos, signs, books, magazine covers, annual reports, advertisements, and other communication materials.

After finishing this study I went to the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.

I studied designing meaningful interactive products and services for people and companies. I learned to do extensive research into user needs and the environment in which your interaction design is used. What I love is the focus on UX and UI design and to work for and with the user for whom I was designing for.

I learned to look critically at my work, actions, prototypes, testing, failing, redesigning, adjusting, etc. The study has a heavy focus on teamwork and taught me what it means to be useful in a team. Clear communication, focus on empathetic ability, being helpful, being able to adjust and listening to different points of view. This knowledge makes me a better team player.

Work experience

I started working at Buro Vink, where I learned to work with internal company structures and how to communicate and design different products for the real market. I experienced the entire process from start to finish and saw how ideas turn from concepts into reality.

2019  I started working at creative studio Apollo 11 in Amsterdam. Here I experienced the international communication process first hand. I had the privilege to work with many creative people and got to expand my abilities when it comes to communication, design and personal responsibility.

In 2020 I  worked at Graficelly, a marketing and media agency. I got to work with  professionals, each with his or her own talent: copywriters, designers, marketers and editors. Every day I learned something new, and tried to improve my work and communication and planning according to the feedback I get. I am positive I will learn more every day and looking forward to what i yet to come!
