A decade of moving up the stack
Front-end Developer & UX/UI Designer
WeFact
Joined as a developer and designer. Six years of shipping interfaces, building design systems, and learning a product from the inside out. Writing code gave me an instinct for what is actually hard to build — and what only looks hard.
Product Owner
WeFact
Moved from execution to ownership. Took responsibility for the roadmap, bridged the gap between engineering and the business, and started understanding what it really means to be accountable for a product.
Head of Product
WeFact
Leading product at the company I helped build. Closer to the business than ever, still close to the craft. The technical background never left — it just moved from the editor to the conversation.

Where it started
Bachelor of Science — IT & Media Design
Fontys University of Applied Sciences
A degree that sat at the intersection of technology and design — which turned out to be exactly where I'd spend my career. Thinking in systems, designing for people, building with code.

Outside of work
Music
I have a large vinyl collection that refuses to be categorised. Jazz, soul, ambient, disco, hip-hop, country — whatever holds attention. The physical ritual of it matters as much as the music. Occasionally I get behind the decks and play a set. My most prized record is "2 The Sky 12"" by DJ Metatron — if you know, you know.
Design & photography
Not just professionally. I notice typography on street signs, grid systems in magazine layouts, the weight of a well-chosen typeface. Design is how I see the world. I also like to take pictures — always on my iPhone. A few of them are scattered throughout this page.
Gardening
Slow, patient, unpredictable. Good counterweight to product work, which wants everything measured and optimised. Plants don't care about your roadmap.
Snowboarding
The mountains are where I fully switch off. Speed, focus, no notifications.
Travelling
Preferably somewhere with good food, interesting architecture, and enough to get lost in.
