About me
My Dutch roots taught me to work hard and never give up. Growing up in Canada taught me to appreciate nature and take time for people. All of which make me who I am.
In more detail
I love organizing, getting things done and paying attention to detail. I enjoy connecting people, building meaningful partnerships & businesses. I have a sweet spot for hiking in mountains. My personal goal is to live and work in two places. Apart from my base in Amsterdam, currently exploring Slovenia and the Azores as a second home.
Design Sprint Master
As a Design Sprint facilitator, I empower teams to think differently. To be customer obsessed and to fall in love with problems. I facilitate Design Sprints, a process designed by Google Ventures to solve problems and test solutions in 5 days. Furthermore, loving to bite into something new, I am experienced in the creation and execution of inter- and intracompany entrepreneurial programs.
Apart from innovation
I have a passion and curiosity for nature, mindfulness and design. My project Deelthuis, a living lab to experience tiny life, re-unites this. Deelthuis exists of tiny houses in nature, where you can come to escape the city. A place to experience how it is to live with less, create your own energy, enjoy a good conversation at the campfire or just to not ‘have’ to do anything for a while. Status: in progress.
