Journey
Psychology and research

Understanding how people think

I studied perception, attention, decision-making, and cognitive control. During my master’s degree in Neuro-Cognitive Psychology, I conducted behavioral research and analyzed EEG, eye-tracking, and behavioral data.

Consulting and transformation

Applying insight inside organizations

I moved from studying how people think and behave to helping aerospace teams clarify processes, share knowledge, communicate change, and collaborate more effectively.

My way of working

Understand people. Make complexity visible.
Build changes people can use.

Research asksHow do people think, decide, and behave?
Change asksHow can teams work differently?
Case study

Important process knowledge was spread across documents, teams, and individual experts.

  • Information fragmented across sources
  • Responsibilities not always clear
  • Onboarding depended on experts

I led the process-mapping work and brought together knowledge from teams, stakeholders, and IT.

  • Mapped the end-to-end process
  • Facilitated workshops and interviews
  • Aligned content, ownership, and usability

Created one shared digital process platform for daily work.

  • End-to-end process flows
  • Defined task ownership
  • Supporting knowledge in one place
80+interviews and workshops

~60daily users

Reduced dependency on individual experts and created one shared process view across teams.

I enjoy making complex things understandable, bringing different perspectives into the conversation, and turning research or process insights into something practical.

Outside of work, I enjoy endurance sports, travelling, and making pottery. They give me different ways to experiment, stay patient, and keep learning.
