Discover My WorkHey! I am Nikki, a tech enthusiast in my twenties. I was born and raised in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
I enjoy finding creative ways to use technology, with a particular interest in data visualization and game
development.
I hold a BSc in Bioinformatics and an MSc in Creative Intelligence & Technology (formerly Media Technology),
both from Leiden University.
My academic background combines scientific research with creative and visual approaches.
I'm drawn to human-computer interaction and making complex information more accessible and engaging.
I enjoy working on interactive tools and educational games, which is why most of my projects are centered around
that.
Additionally, I'm passionate about addressing and discussing data gaps in female health research.
My thesis focuses on the under-researched nature of the menstrual cycle and its potential impact on women's
general anxiety levels and social understanding skills.

When I'm not working on projects, I spend my time exploring my many hobbies. I love activities that spark my creativity and curiosity, such as reading, drawing, journaling, writing, and playing the ukulele. I also enjoy staying active by going roller skating or paddle boarding. On quieter days, I like to unwind by playing video games, listening to music, and relaxing with my two cats.
Most of my hobbies aren't just fun ways to spend my time, they also help me stay creative and come up with new ideas. They've taught me how to think in different ways, which really comes in handy when I'm designing projects or solving more complex problems.
