[🇳🇱 Dutch] NL Design System Week 2023 - Trinity Design System
I had a blast teaming up with Hülya Bozkurt (product owner) to chat about the cool design system work we're doing at KVK. We got into what Trinity looks like and how we're tackling design system adoption challenges

What my colleagues say about me
I've had the pleasure of getting to know Joshua when I worked at team.blue with him. We started out as colleagues but ended up being close friends. Not only is he a great person, he is truly good at what he does. The user is always on Joshua's mind, his personality radiates energy and enthusiasm for things he cares about. I've had the opportunity to learn to see design through his eyes and I could recommend that to anybody. From time to time I'll ask myself: "What would Josh think of this?" and that's second best to asking him.

Joshua is a very talented and witty designer. His drive, knowledge and passion are remarkable. With his communication skills, he can bring any idea come to life and help teams develop the perfect solution for complex projects. He is always down to help and mentor people, share knowledge and keeps pushing his own learning curve. Without Joshua and his design system knowledge, I would not have been the designer I am today. Very pleased to work with Joshua, a true addition to any team!
Bobbie-Lee Bakkum
Product Designer
I had the pleasure of working closely with Joshua, and I can confidently say that he is not only a highly competent professional but also a dedicated and eager individual. Over the course of our collaboration, Joshua became a very good friend, and I've had the privilege of witnessing his passion for UX and his continuous quest to expand his knowledge in the field. What sets him apart is his unique blend of a fundamental understanding of the technical side of frontend development, which allows him to bridge the gap between design and implementation seamlessly. Joshua's enthusiasm for learning, collaboration, and innovation make him a valuable asset to any team. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any UX-related roles or projects.
