Hello, I'm Hoekstra — a digital product/UX designer, typography enthusiast, technology evangelist, speaker, and motorcyclist.

Currently, founding a startup — bubblit. Previously Sr. Product Designer on Design Systems at Postman & CI/CD Product Designer at GitLab.

As a technical designer, I am invested in developer operations such as Git, continuous integration and deployment, and cross-functional design system management. Optimising for the collaboration within the triad of PM, UX, and Engineering to best drive the product forward.

I specialize in working for remote-only companies. Working daily with a team of people across various locations and time zones means that you need to optimise how you collaborate and get things done. I elaborate on this in my personal readme which is available online to anyone asynchronously.

Right now, I live and work remotely from Spain, Barcelona 🇪🇸, and frequent Amsterdam 🇳🇱 and Berlin 🇩🇪. Before that, I have traveled and worked full-time across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Meet me at meetups and conferences like Hatch and PenpotFest, or follow my travels.

In the past, I have helped out as a mentor for Ladies that UX Amsterdam. On GitLab I host open source projects such as my personal dotfiles. Additionally, feel free to check out my Figma profile for published templates.

Feel free to reach out.
