Ed Tech

Math Masters Jr. is a personalized learning app designed to help young learners master multiplication at their own pace. I created an app that prioritizes intrinsic motivation, designing engaging characters and a playful narrative to keep learners immersed. Tested in 11 primary schools across the Netherlands, the app showed measurable impact: students improved their multiplication performance by 27% with consistent practice.

Market Intelligence

This project began as a freelance project, born from a clear business need: a consultancy team was spending too much time manually screening and reporting on news. Seeing both a gap in the market and an opportunity, I set out to design a tool that would simplify and speed up this process.

In this case study I showcase one user flow and my solution to simplifying and improving a previous design.

Research

I begin every new project or feature by gathering data. This data can come from various sources: experts, publications, competitive analysis, and most importantly, users.

I ensure the goals are well-defined and that I have sufficient resources to fully understand and work on the problem at hand.

Research-first approach

I begin every project by gathering insights, from experts, publications, competitive analysis, and, most importantly, users. Coming from a scientific background I conduct literature reviews and integrate them in my design decisions.

Turning complexity into clarity

With a background in science, I know how overwhelming complexity can be. That’s why I approach design with empathy, breaking down tangled ideas into intuitive, user-friendly experiences that feel easy for everyone.

Fresh perspective on design

Design evolves, and so do users' needs. I love staying on top of emerging trends to bring a fresh, creative touch to my work. My goal is to keep users engaged and delighted, while always prioritizing clarity and functionality.
