I design for millionsand the tools teams use to ship

Design lead at IKEA.com, shaping how millions of people compare and buy. Before that, I designed for both sides of Dutch marketplaces: home buyers, sellers and estate agents at Funda, and merchants on bol’s partner platform. I also built an internal Figma plugin, used by nearly 400 IKEA designers, that now lets AI assistants search live product data.
