Former "IT Support technician" now supporting people with design
I'm a former IT Support technician that got tired of the poorly designed tools that was put at my disposal.
I decided I had enough and put my mind to pursue a career better suited to my values and ambitions.
Transitioning into Design
While at Booking.com, I took the opportunity to dive into the design world by interning with several experienced designers. This hands-on experience allowed me to develop my skills and build a strong portfolio, which eventually led to new opportunities. After applying to a few positions, I landed a role where I could fully immerse myself in design and product development.
Current Role at Coolblue.nl
Today, I work at Coolblue.nl, where I’m a part of the Stock and Purchase Agreements team. My main focus is on improving existing tools and creating a vision for new products that enhance efficiency and usability. I collaborate closely with other teams to address their design needs, whether that’s developing visual assets or conceptualizing entirely new tools.
Advocating for Digital Accessibility
Beyond my work in design, I’m passionate about making the digital world accessible to everyone. I actively raise awareness about digital accessibility, ensuring that the products and tools we create are inclusive and user-friendly for all.
