1.
Interned at Walt Disney Florida, US where I experienced the power of storytelling quite literally and learned about delivering
personalised customer experiences
2.
Graduated in Rotterdam, NL where I studied International Business and Marketing and
learned about consumer behaviour, market research and psychology.
​
3.
My curiosity led me to travel solo through China, Thailand, Malaysia and Hong Kong for half a year. Having never been to Asia before nor had I travelled alone I was constantly outside my comfort zone.
4.
Took up an opportunity to move to London, by joining a wholesale handbags business as a co-owner. Being the general manager, I was very much like a jack-of-all-trades, or better put; I became a creative problem solver.
5.
After 5 years I left the business and started to work for digital marketing software providers/ agencies tracking the online customer journey. As an account manager, I consulted my e-commerce clients with data-driven strategies.
6.
As a client facing Customer Success Manager, I was project managing internal product, integrations and customer support teams. Here I learned about product, user research and facilitating workshops.
7.
Being introduced to UX and Product, I wanted to know more. After extensive research, meetups and workshops I decided to quit my job and join General Assembly for 3 months to take the fulltime UX immersive course.
8.
Why I transitioned my career into UX.
For me, UX means humanizing technology.
Inclusive, accessible, easy and beautiful design that answers to user needs can have a positive effect on people's lives. This excites me and it is something I enjoy contributing to.
