Since childhood, I’ve loved solving puzzles, and that’s how I approach UX. I start by creating a frame, defining where I am and where I need to be (researching and defining the problem). Then, I categorize and prioritize the pieces. Next, I explore options, testing if they fit together. Whether it takes days or hours, the final result is always satisfying.
That’s how I work as a UX Designer—step by step, overcoming challenges until I reach my goal.

I'm not going to lie. I hate it. However, it's challenging, and I keep signing up for new races, so I must prepare for them (a trick that makes me go for a run 100% of the time).
There is no better feeling for me than being underwater. You can only hear your breath, which puts you in the meditating zone. There is just you and your thoughts (and sometimes your diving partner who needs oxygen, which doesn't help with relaxing).
I have one more sport, and I'm almost done with it. I will brag that in 2023, I did something called 4daagse (if you are Dutch, you might know it). It's walking 200km in 4 days. Nothing else. Just walking. And some beers for hydration.
Sport that taught me a lot of discipline, how to stay calm, be patient and kept on humbling me my whole life.
Lucikly is not my hobby (as I'm terrible); I just wanted to share a cute picture of me as a kid.
Luckily, my digital designs are better than those created by hand, but nothing relaxes me as much as painting, crafting some DIYs, or building something with my hands.
Although I can't keep a single plant alive, one in the picture died five months after I took it home.
One of the most essential things in my life (that sounds dramatic). No matter if it's artificial light, sunlight or a light at the end of the tunnel.
It falls into the light section, but it's so important that I would feel bad if I didn't give it extra credit. Its colours inspired the colours of my portfolio.
What can I say other than that the people around me are my greatest inspiration and motivation? I couldn't be more grateful.
Nothing inspires me as much as the work of other people. It doesn't have to be specifically related to product design. I follow everyone from photographers to interior architects.
Living in vibrant Barcelona has opened my eyes to the significance of my environment, which involves a lot of architecture.
