Designing with purpose, for people, systems, and the world they shape.

I'm Kirsten, a UX Designer and Researcher based in the Netherlands. After spending the past five years living and working in New Zealand, I recently returned home and completed my Master's in Interaction Design in Amsterdam.

I combine qualitative research with interaction design to create digital experiences that are grounded in real user needs. My approach is shaped by systems thinking and curiosity, looking beyond individual interactions to understand the wider context in which products exist.

I'm currently looking for opportunities where I can contribute to meaningful, user-centred products as part of a collaborative team.
