With over 10 years of experience as a UX/UI designer I fulfilled a wide range of roles. Starting out as a freelance website designer and developer for small and medium-sized enterprises I gained various skills in communicating with many different type of clients, interpreting requirements and working iteratively in feedback loops. After a few years I got involved in developing a SaaS software package for the municipality. In the eight years working for this company I designed three iterations of the software, implemented google’s Material Design system, designed a apps for specific municipal roles and was responsible for their branding. I’ve seen the team grow and experienced the accompanying challenges that come with managing a growing team, e.g. communication struggles between the different parties involved (customer, support and development). I took part in finding appropriate solutions such as the implementation and perfection of methods like scrum and agile. I’ve worked in teams on large projects using tools like GitHub/gitlab, Jira and Docker, collaborating with talented front-end and back-end developers. After eight years I was ready for a new challenge and decided to start freelancing again. In the meantime, I’ve finished various projects, gaining experience in working with React, performing UX research, communicating with stakeholders, designing a design system in Figma and ZeroHeight and much more. I look forward to new challenges where I can further develop myself as a UI/UX designer!
