What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, where I can further develop my skills in user research and design impactful experiences.

With Finnish roots and a Dutch upbringing, my international background and education have nurtured a deep curiosity for culture and a genuine passion for communication. These interests have guided my career path across a range of fields—from publishing and photography to retail management, and most recently, UX design.

As a UX Designer at Imagination, I conduct user research, competitive analysis, and design workshops for creative pitches and digital products. I thrive in collaborative environments, translating data into user flows, customer journey maps, and prototypes. My passion projects include redesigning Imagination.com and leading initiatives in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
