Hi, I'm Rens
I am an Interaction Technologist, with a creative and critical mind. I like to challenge myself to find the best solutions with emerging technologies, and to bridge the gap in multidisciplinary teams.
Featured Projects
Some of my best work
Augmented Reality Mirror

About Me
With my MSc Interaction Technology from the University of Twente and work experience, I developed a broad technological understanding, with an eye for design. This means I can play a connecting role between designers, developers, stakeholders and end-users. I excel at (academic) UX research and regularly design and produce working prototypes, all the way from a simple problem statement. Besides that, I have experience using Figma, Agile and Scrum work methods, and the organisation and hosting of workshops. I am creative and precise, a fast learner and always open to constructive criticism.
I love creative and technically challenging hobbies and projects, so when I am not working, you can find me developing video games, programming my own smart home, or participating in a hackathon. Besides that, I love to travel, read books and play video games.
Feel free to contact me for anything, in any way you want!
