We Wander World
UX Research, UI / UX Design, 2025
A travel agency that sells tailored roundtrips to destinations all over the world, is developing its own internal CRM/ERP application.
Due to a frustrating user experience, I was asked to (re)design the application.
Picessa Photography
Branding & Webdesign, 2023
For a few years, I offered web design as a side hustle alongside my job. I’ve decided to include one of those projects in this portfolio.
Tessa from Picessa Photography was looking for a fresh brand and website. I created a new logo, branding visuals, and designed a website that matched her style and story.
I’m Ilse Huizenga
An enthusiastic traveler, analytical thinker and an ambitious product designer.
Sinds a few years I know design is the thing for me. A career where I can combine creativity and analytical thinking, is the perfect match for me.
At my current job in the travel industry, I got the opportunity to switch from the sales team ( I sold tailored trips to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia) to the IT team and take on the product design of the internal CRM/ERP system. That experience confirmed it: this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I love it when everything comes together; usability, business goals and aesthetics. That’s the sweet spot I aim for.
Outside of work, I’m also:
- An adventurous traveller (30/195 countries visited)
- Into running and fitness
- A podcast & audiobook fan
- An animal lover (future dog owner!)
Based in The Netherlands (Randstad)
