about

I am an interaction designer, my scholastic research and professional focus is on practicing human-centered design and creating meaningful interactions between people, products, and services. With over four years of experience, I have worked for Philips, SAP, Alcatel-Lucent, Fokker-Services, Tribler, Green Valley, and Fluent to design, evaluate and develop various interactive products and services.

I am a firm believer in innovation through experimental design research and a 'design-by-doing' approach. I bring a depth or knowledge in people, technology, and design, as well as a passion for business. I am a keen learner, love working in teams and enjoy traveling.

Recently I finished my master thesis at Philips Consumer Lifestyle, Innovation Lab on 'design of an absolute pointing device' using user-centered research and design approach.
