Hi, I’m Ellie.

Design Researcher | Interaction Designer

5+ years of experience across academia and industry. My work focuses on understanding human behaviour in interaction contexts and translating research insights into meaningful design solutions.
I have experience conducting qualitative research, identifying behavioural patterns in data, and applying Research-through-Design approaches to develop human-centred digital experiences. Having worked in both applied research and product environments, I am particularly interested in bridging the gap between academic research and design practice.into technology and love discovering how it can shape more meaningful and sustainable experiences.

Creative Coding

Ellie as a Designer

“Design isn’t just my job, it’s how I see the world.”
It’s how I make sense of things, how I stay curious, and honestly, how I get through the gloomy, cold, windy winters here in the Netherlands:) I find energy in small side projects, whether I’m playing with creative coding, experimenting in TouchDesigner, or just vibing with new AI tools to see what they can become. These moments light things up for me, and keep me connected to why I love what I do.
