About me
I am a service designer who designs for societal challenges, with a special interest in public services and healthcare. I am committed to creating products, systems, and services that contribute to equity and inclusivity.
I have an empathic, curious and open attitude to navigate complex design spaces together with different actors.
My work is grounded in academic knowledge of cognitive psychology and industrial design, which allows me to work at the intersection of social sciences and design.
I take a hands-on and participatory approach to understand new contexts and translate these insights to crafting new experiences and futures.
About our role as designers
For a long time, there has been a need to address complex societal challenges. Challenges that are not easily solved - they are intricate, dynamic and interrelated. Today's multitude of actors and tensions in complex ecosystems, such as healthcare and public services, call for breaking conventional ways of thinking and opening up new ways of operating.
Various disciplines have been searching for new practices and methods to approach these challenges.
The design practice has always operated in a messy and ambiguous space.
Because of this, designers have developed an experimental attitude and skills to craft potential futures and make the 'fuzzy' discussable and tangible.
Fields outside of our traditional discipline, like healthcare and governance, have been looking for ways to embed these designerly practices into their domain. As a result, designers are becoming increasingly prominent in other disciplines. Here, I believe that designers should take the creative lead to crafting new practices together with different disciplines to set systemic change into motion.
