Prototype Exporter (Archived)
May 2020 - January 2022
Take your prototype out of Figma. The plugin allowed you to download and run your prototype in a browser on any device. After 9.5K installs within Figma without any external promotion, I sunset the plugin because of Figma’s rapid development, increasing complexity and lack of time & reward.
Work
Principal Digital Product Designer at Shell Recharge Solutions Europe
Formerly known as NewMotion
January 2021 - October 2024 (3 years and 10 months) in Amsterdam
Moved to a client-side job to join the eMobility industry to help accelerate the energy transition. In a highly technical space, I worked embedded within a product team to design tooling for our external installation & maintenance partners and internal technical support. I developed products from “zero to one”, helped deliver important features for the business and for the users and supported the transition from legacy systems to new. Besides being an individual contributor, I mentored other designers in the team by helping them with best practices, eMobility industry knowledge and observing their ways of working and providing feedback. I was made redundant in October 2024, together with the whole design team.
Principal Product Designer at VMware Pivotal Labs
May 2016 - December 2020 (4 years and 7 months) in London and Amsterdam
I worked in teams with product managers and software engineers, and we collaborated with clients on their projects. While building products, I up-skilled client designers and non-designers on User Centred Design, Lean UX & Agile practices. I practiced full-stack design on each project, which included: conducting user research, exploring design ideas, creating prototypes, exploring visual design languages & collaborating with the Product Manager & Lead Engineer to prioritise the right things to focus on. For the last year of working at Tanzu Labs I lead design projects in the Netherlands, working with the national law enforcement to scale their product practices and build new internal products.
Senior Interaction Designer at Method
June 2013 - May 2016 (2 years and 11 months) in London
As an Interaction Designer, I worked on various teams on big and small projects. I was part of the award winning lush.co.uk design team where we defined everything from the higher-level content strategy to the smaller lower level details of the responsive e-commerce website. In 2014 I was sent to the Method New York City studio where I collaborated with a visual designer in a larger design team of 3 pairs to design the McDonald’s mobile app prototype within 12 weeks in a sprint based process.
