What drives me?
The need to develop user experiences of digital products and services. From the beginning, I put the users at the centre. Through good research, I recognise the important insights and needs. I question things and turn them upside down. Using wireframing, a systemic approach, prototyping and various testings, I develop the best possible product together with the team.
