I am a trained design and HCI researcher, specialised in exploring new design spaces enabled by emerging technology. Using a combination of theoretical engagement, in-depth qualitative research and curated quantitative metrics, I find ways of designing with technology that are critical, scientifically engaged, and socially impactful.
I believe that good design research comes from understanding others. I'm skilled in engaging with scientific, technical and sociological communities and integrating their perspectives in my work.
My approach to design research prioritises social impact over technological trends. I make research decisions based on where my work can aid others, both in industry and academia.
I design my research to be actionable and useful for others. I transform abstract theory into practical tools and demonstrate them through my own designs, inviting others to iterate and expand.
This book chapter, co-authored with fellow PhD candidate Laura Barendregt, critically examines the Dutch PhD system and re-imagines it as a more equitable process where learning takes centre stage.
This article summarises the goals and intermediate findings of my PhD project, in which I explored playful, interactive interfaces as a way of supporting computing-centred intuitions for quantum computing.
This paper engages with theories of smart systems to reframe AI for human-centred designers. It uses real design projects to argue that AI should be treated as complementary, not superior, to human capabilities.
