Hi all,
After many years working at Fairphone, and having been part of this adventure since I joined Bas van Abel in 2011 to start this organization from scratch, I have not been much part of the forum. We have always had great people that have been able to participate and I have been focussing in some of our impact projects. But there is some change coming and I felt it was fair to introduce myself to the community.
My background is in Product Design Engineering and Strategic design, and I am passionate about making products more sustainable but also products that can help us behave more sustainably. After being Circular Innovation Lead for some years, I’m transitioning to the Product Team as Design Lead which is exciting! I will be sitting at the beginning of product creation and will allow me to focus in integrating all I have learned about environmental sustainability and circular economy. I also host our Fairphone podcast (Fairtalks), in collaboration with our Brand Website owner Jan.
A bit more personal, I live in Rotterdam, I cycle a lot (sometimes to our office in Amsterdam), and I like cooking too much. I love close-to-reality dystopian stories, specially when they take form on a stage in a theatre.
I see you around!
