I'm currently the Global UX Manager at Randstad, working hands-on and leading teams of designers and researchers on different global projects for mobile and web-based products, unifying the user experiences of our 39 markets across the globe, while helping our global organization adopt a more customer-centric approach to product development.

I've worked as part of different Agile teams at PostNL, a mail, parcel and e-commerce corporation in the Netherlands. My task as a UX designer has been to ensure that the complex products offered to consumers and business users are as easy to understand and use as possible.

As a part of different agile teams at TomTom, a major global player in the field of satellite navigation and mapping technologies, I was responsible for the user experience of several mobile apps for both Android and iOS. I also helped in the development of applications for desktop and web, and in-car dashboard navigation systems for our automotive customers.

I lead the design team of Novility, a start-up that developed a training system based on motion tracking and voice recognition technologies, to teach hotel housekeepers the correct procedures, ergonomic movements and required English language skills to perform their job efficiently and free of injuries.

By using a user user-centered design approach, I helped ATAG design an oven with features that people actually want to use in their kitchens. We created an award-winning product that can support experienced cooks while at the same time guiding novice users.
