03Design principles

A clear structure and a strong visual style. Good design needs both.

See it in practiceFrom an expert review and product vision workshop to a new sitemap and blueprint for Soap.
  1. (01)Curious about peopleI like to understand how people think and behave. That curiosity helps me design products that feel logical and natural to use.
  2. (02)Bringing order to complexityI enjoy taking a lot of information and giving it a logical structure. Clear user flows and a well-organised sitemap make complex topics easy to follow.
  3. (03)Function and form belong togetherI design both how something works and how it looks. I start with the structure, and once that works well, I bring in the brand and visual style. That way the look supports the structure instead of getting in its way.

04Beyond work

When I'm not designing,
