About me

My name is Ruben Platte, and I’m a designer with a passion for creating meaningful, intuitive products. I believe good design is functional, solves real problems and enhances the lives of its users.

From 2013 to 2016 I worked at Olery as a UX designer. This year I did a 6 month internship at Digital Natives. I’m currently studying Communication & Multimedia Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam. In my free time I enjoy rock climbing, nature, music, baking bread and photography.
