My name is Joca and I am a designer based in Amsterdam.

Currently I am part of the team at Momkai, where I work as a UX designer on memberful experiences. Besides that I develop self-initiated projects in the field of tangible interaction and publishing.

I hold a MA in experimental publishing from the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam and a BSc. in industrial design from Eindhoven University of Technology.

This background supported me in developing a practice where people, digital culture and technology play an important role. My work is rooted in the digital, but the result can vary from digital platform to a carpet collection.
