Meet the designer

There is a person behind the design and this is me

On this page I would like to take you into my world. Here you get to know me personally, you see who I am apart from my projects and assignments. Because behind every design is a person and this is me.

Get to know me

I have a calm character. I won't attract attention in large groups, and I don't have to. I find peace in the silence, the little things in life and in nature.

I get my creativity from everything that touches me: nature, unexpected events or the creativity of others. Sometimes the best hunches come while I think about unimportant, crazy things.

I love it when something looks aesthetically pleasing. I want to be able to be proud of what I and others make, not because it has to be perfect, but because it has been worked on with love and attention.

I recharge by taking time for myself. That could be with a big cup of tea and a series, a puzzle with a podcast in the background, or getting lost in a book. I can also enjoy a quiet walk and sunsets. My family means a lot to me. Spending time together gives me strength and peace again.

I've been a bookworm since I was a kid and I've never stopped reading. I like to get carried away with stories and adventures that I would never experience myself.

In addition to designing and reading, I do line dancing. It started as a joke, but has become one of my favorite pastimes. While dancing, nothing counts but the steps, the music and the rhythm.

I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 4.5 years old. It taught me at a young age to be responsible. If I go for something, I go for it 100% and I will continue until I reach my goal.

It is often said that I am a perfectionist. Personally, I see it more as an eye for detail and care for what I create. I want my work to be right, to be well thought out and to stand behind every design.

I believe that respect and gentleness can take you far in life, a small gesture can make a big difference. A smile can make your day better and with a friendly smile you are not doing anything wrong.
