Hi!
I am Marla, a driven initiator, motivated and enthusiastic in learning new things, and I like to convey this to other people. I preferably work structured and organized, besides that I think it’s important to stay flexible whenever that is necessary. Social, empathic and committed are characteristics that describe me well.
Currently I’m working as an UX/UI designer at Philips Experience Design, in Healthcare. I’m part of the Yacht network as a Yacht trainee, in which I’m doing 3 challenging projects in the field of UX. I will develop myself both personally and professionally by the use of the Yacht program, personal coaching and trainings.
UX design, innovative concepts and designs that make an impact make me happy. Creative with handwriting and illustrations. I love cooking and good food and still would like to see a lot of the world!

Portfolio
Long distance and intimacy

However, the main issue that people experience in LDRs is the problem with communicating due to time differences which affect the degree of intimacy.

Recycle en maak fashion
EDITORIAL DESIGN
Creëer een revolutionair fashion magazine. Het revolutionaire aspect dient terug te komen in het onderwerp, de content en de layout. ‘Maak iets dat we nooit eerder gezien hebben!’
Het concept: recycle afval tot fashion! Het gehele magazine is eigen ontwerp: het idee, de layout, de foto’s, de materialen gebruikt in de foto’s, het drukwerk, het vouwen, en natuurlijk het plezier!
Het magazine is ook te recyclen: het is gemaakt van één vel papier dat, middels een patroon op de achterkant, omgevouwen kan worden tot een papieren jurk!
Presenteer jezelf!
CV DESIGN
Solliciteren? Dan moet je jezelf onderscheiden met een unieke CV! Ik vind het belangrijk dat documenten over de juiste vormgeving beschikken, zo ook CV’s. Hiervoor gebruik ik mijn favoriete programma: Adobe InDesign.
Interesses
Koken & eten
From Dutch to international dishes, I love to try new recipes! I don’t throw them away, so I turn the remaining ingredients into a creative meal.
Handlettering
As a child, I already loved to draw. I recently discovered hand lettering, which makes me very excited! I prefer to combine hand lettering with illustrations.
Reizen & fotografie
During my studies in Austria I discovered that I would like to see much more of the world. After that I discovered Latin America in 3 months, to visit my Erasmus friends. I like to capture beautiful places in photos to create memories.
