I am a social designer, design researcher and project developer. I see culture, design, and creativity as a means to bridge societal gaps. Design research is for me a method to analyse systems or questions from different angles and offer new perspectives on matters in question.
Together with Pim van der Mijl, I co-founded De Voorkamer in Utrecht in 2016, an inclusive meeting space by and for newcomers and the local community.
