About Dezainaa

thomas_green

Dezainaa is the design label of Thomas Plaizier. I am a digital product designer based in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

After 10+ years as senior UX/UI designer and team lead at multiple agencies, I've started to broaden my horizon with freelance jobs as digital product designer and teacher/mentor. In my spare time I'm studying woodworking and printmaking in my workshop. 

I am interested in projects where I can explore new industries, subjects, crafts or methods.
