I have always been fascinated by people, how they act and why they do so. This fascination has led me into the world of social science and has so far proven to be a valuable asset within my field of work.

My adventure into social science has led me to Design Thinking, a creative mindset with a human-centered approach, where the end-user is in focus. By gaining empathy through insight and understanding, I believe that it is possible to create a stronger foundation for problem solving.

Design for me, is a mindset, a creative way of rethinking current situations, by then being able to bring meaningful experiences to those who need it. Not only does my heart beat for design, I live, breathe and think design!
