I am a designer, researcher, volunteer, and parallel entrepreneur. I have a PhD in ‘behaviour change through play’, and am (co-)founder of several companies (Rozo Lab , Games for Health and Budiyu ). I try to improve the world by using the power of play, interaction and technology.
I enjoy cooperating with experts, scientists, healthcare professionals, patients and families. Together, we research, design and create scalable health solutions that truly change a person’s life. We implement these solutions world-wide, through start-ups, scale-ups and partnerships.
I also aim to accelerate the application of science in the real world through international research projects. We create communities of science, business, healthcare and education that achieve amazing results together.
