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 all-round digital 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 materials, subjects, crafts or methods.
