Good design is good business
I help organisations figure out what services their audience need to accomplish a goal, and what their teams need to build services that can help people accomplish that goal.
We create these services for businesses, users and the society we live in. Bringing these aspects together help build something truly valuable.
Creating a service is a team effort. We can only accomplish good design if every person is on board with delivering the best service possible.

Coach & Organiser Open Summer of Code
Open summer of code offers open source projects, made by students, coaches & organisations.
As a coach, I helped the students with design, project management, presentation skills, client communication and workflow.
As an organiser, I helped organise and plan the production of the summer school, on- and offline. I made sure coaches develop their coaching abilities and create tools for them to use so they, and their students, can focus on making their customer happy and build a valuable product.
