UX / UI / Product Design

Currently building the future of Governance, Risk and Compliance at Verified. Previously Founding designer for Pliance, a Regtech.
Passionate about product, hip hop and football.

I love to design products. Especially if it's something new: I'm fascinated by unexplored territory. When I build, I like to do it fast. But nice. And then revise it. Perhaps throw it in the trash. Take learnings from first iteration. Start over. Twice. Maybe three times.

And I've done that. Hundreds of times. For Verified, Pliance, Vimla, SAS, Bosch and more.

If I'd try to be reflect on who I am, I feel that I'm never satisfied with what I've done. That can take a toll on the self-confidence. But it's also the ultimate teacher: to never settle. Strive to always improve. It might be two steps forward, one step back, but I hope that I am getting better at building, collaboration, etc.
