I design software and write the code that ships it, so what goes live is what we drew. Eleven years of dispatch boards, clinic check-ins and online shops. I start with the people who will use the thing, usually by watching them work for a day. Then I sketch, prototype in the browser, and ship production code alongside your engineers. I'd rather show you a working build on Thursday than a slide deck on Monday.

2025
Tessel Freight
41% less time to assign a load
Dispatchers were matching 2,000 truck loads a day across three spreadsheets and a phone. I sat with them for a week, then designed and built one board where a load is dragged onto a driver and the conflicts show before you let go.
2024
Quayside Health
50 s to check in, down from three minutes
A tablet check-in for fourteen outpatient clinics. Large type, one question per screen, and a hand-off to the front desk the moment a patient taps "I need help".
2023
Ferro & Finch
+22% mobile orders in the first quarter
A small Dutch cast-iron maker outgrew its theme. I rebuilt the shop around the product pages, with real pan weights, a care guide per piece and a checkout that fits on one phone screen.
2022 – now
Side project
2,300 allotment gardeners planning each week
A planting planner for shared allotments: who has which bed, what goes in when, whose turn it is to water. Started for my own plot, now used by forty garden clubs.
About
Most products lose something between the mock-up and the release. A spacing value gets rounded, an empty state never gets drawn, a loading spinner appears where a skeleton was planned. I close that gap by doing both halves myself.

2023 – Now
Independent, Halden Studio · Rotterdam
Design and front-end build for logistics, health and retail clients. Usually embedded with one product team for a quarter at a time.
2020 – 2023
Tessel Freight · Rotterdam
Led a team of three designers across the dispatch, driver and billing apps. Set up the shared component library in code and ran fortnightly sessions with dispatchers.
2017 – 2020
Oddment Studio · Antwerp
Shipped twenty-odd sites and two apps for museums, publishers and makers. Learned to estimate, and to say which part of a design will be slow to build.
2015 – 2017
Quire & Vane Publishers · Lyon
Designed book microsites and the first online catalogue for a French art-book publisher. Wrote my first production CSS here.
2011 – 2015
Maasstad Academy of Design · Rotterdam
Graduation project: a ticket machine for night trains that works in four languages without a single word of instruction.
2014
École Basse-Rive · Lyon
Book design and type history. Stayed on afterwards for the job at Quire & Vane.
Services · 3 ways to work together
2 weeks
For a team with a question and no answer yet. We watch users, sketch three directions and end with a clickable prototype tested on five real people.
6 – 12 weeks
For a product or feature that needs to go from idea to release. I design it and write the front end, working inside your repository and your review process.
2 days a week
For a team that ships often and wants a designer who can open a pull request. Reviews, fixes, new screens and the small polish nobody has time for.
