Hi — I’m a product and industrial designer based in Eindhoven. I love creating thoughtful, functional designs that make everyday life a little better. My work sits somewhere between craft, sustainability and problem-solving — whether that’s furniture, products, or small design systems. I enjoy collaborating with people, understanding how they live and work, and turning ideas into honest, well-made solutions.
