I’m a designer and creative problem-solver at heart who currently works as a Global Customer Experience Strategist at MSD. A never ending curiosity has resulted in a degree in UX & VR, a large variety of roles throughout the digital landscape and I have worked in companies of all shapes and sizes. In my current role my main objective is to bring the customer into the organisation and help local markets across the world in their digital transformation. In my free time I enjoy creating whatever comes to mind in Blender, a 3D software where complete ownership of the creative process is what I enjoy most.

What started out as a joke became a personal observation of how creators and companies use dark patterns and explain it as a successful digital strategy. It seems that we are all alright with that and even applaud it. I think that needs to change.
