She has a scientific and evidence-based approach to human-centered design, loves design sprints and iteration, and is a passionate advocate for simplicity. Her most powerful tools are 'why?' and 'show me!'. Equipped with those, she conducted user and product research for think tanks and companies in Europe, North America and the Middle East.
