Sarah Mei Kwakkelaar

Bio

Hi! I’m Sarah, a product designer from Glen Ridge, New Jersey. I graduated from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with a degree in Artificial Intelligence—an experience that has enabled me to speak the language of designers and engineers alike.

I believe good design is intentional, inclusive, and responsible. Through my time at MDes and beyond, I aim to help shape tech that serves everyone—not just the majority—and honors the environment as much as the communities they impact.

I’m also really into plants, cooking, Japanese pottery, and meticulously curating Spotify playlists.
