Scouting

I lead a group of 11–15-year-old boy scouts, planning activities with our staff team. We meet weekly, go on camping trips, and host a big themed summer camp each year. Our games and challenges teach camping skills and support social, mental, and physical growth. Scouts work in teams with clear goals, always with a focus on fun and personal development.

Team leader

As team leader I lead staff meetings and am the first in line to contact for parents. In addition, I create themed camp booklets, and graphical boardgames for our summer camps. I think my design skills make our activities more exciting and inspire scouts to enjoy adventure and learning.

I DESIGN AND TEACH FOR EMPOWERMENT AND SELF-DIRECTEDNESS IN EDUCATION.

Teaching 1-5 havo and 1-6 vwo. Coaching students on their self-directedness, giving feedback on their projects, assisting them in setting learning goals, and supporting them in their collaborative learning skills.

Design vision

I believe education should do more than share knowledge; it should empower people to learn and grow.

In my design and teacher work, I focus on creating opportunities for interaction, knowing that collaboration is key to learning.

My goal is to design products and experiences that are functional, foster teamwork, and support personal growth. I design to inspire empowerment and lifelong learning.

I start every project with a clear plan and focus on user involvement, concept development, business potential, and a strong theoretical base.

Alongside design, I’m skilled in programming, rapid prototyping, and creating electronic interactions. I take a multidisciplinary approach and continually grow my skills to deliver innovative, effective solutions.
