About me

Hi! I'm Romy

22 years old, living in Wijhe. I'm curious, creative, and always looking for ways to express myself — through design, drawing, baking, school projects, or simply in the way I see the world.

My interest in healthcare technology comes from personal experience. I know how impactful it can be when your body doesn't always cooperate. That motivates me to design solutions that help people live as independently and comfortably as possible.

I'm social, empathic, and a strong listener. People often tell me I quickly sense what someone needs. As a designer I stand for attention: to the user, to detail, and to honesty.
