I'm a designer at heart. In the past 20 years, I’ve had the chance to work with and learn from amazing individuals and teams. In agencies, in-house, and in local communities. I’ve featured 3 projects below.

Next to designing propositions, strategies, service models, digital applications, roles, learning journeys and lots more, I co-founded an award-winning agency in Vancouver. Scroll down for CV highlights.

Currently, I’m working with a talented team at ING to connect the dots between Customer Due Diligence, UX & AI. I’d love to continue doing this and link it to my passion for people development and design maturity.

Featured projects

Experimentation and initial design for a Client Review solution leveraging GenAI

End-to-end design and implementation of a Learning Platform with and for People with Cognitive Disabilities

Design Research and Co-design of social supports for people with cancer

From deep ethnography, to end-to-end journeys, to implementation.

‘Doing’ design, alongside building capability: highlighted roles from my CV.

2020 - now

As the 1st designer at ING Group Strategy & Innovation, I showed the value of service design. I helped hire a 2nd designer, co-created trainings and co-lead the ING Service Design Guild.

2014 - 2020

As a co-founder of Vancouver based social design agency InWithForward, I was responsible for building a design practice that attracted talent from 10+ countries and grew to 15 people.

2013 - 2019

As an educator, I coached designers and senior managers, co-ran a summer school in Service Design in Italy and shared design experience at various universities and global conferences.

2008 - 2012

As a service designer, I was able to grow my craft at London-based agencies Participle and Engine Service Design, who pioneered development of the field before it was widely recognised.

2004 - 2008 & 2012 - 2019

As an independent design consultant, I was able to land projects working with wide range of clients such as Vodafone, Sodexo, Ebay, NHS, The Salvation Army and the City of Amsterdam.
