Maybe you already know us, having worked with us for years. You may have no idea who works at inBrain. Our team is what makes us unique, which is why we like to tell a little more about the people behind the products!
This time we introduce you to Keescha Burink, digital designer at inBrain.
What characteristic makes you do your job better?
I am good at problem solving and conceptual thinking. My training in graphic design allows me to approach things from different perspectives. This knowledge and experience ensure that I find both creative and practical solutions to the various challenges I encounter in my work.
What is your favorite spot in the office and why?
The coffee maker. I love a good cup of coffee and from my colleague Georghy I learn how to brew a perfect espresso and froth milk correctly for the ideal cappuccino. Moreover, this is the perfect place for a pleasant chat with colleagues.
If you could only have three apps on your phone, what would you choose (and why)?
Spotify anyway. Working without music? I find that very difficult. In fact, I always need something in the background to help me concentrate. Whether it’s a nice podcast, an audiobook or some energetic songs: a good playlist makes everything better.
Also, Komoot. I like to hike and discover new routes preferably with this app. Just clearing my head after a day full of work.
Finally, the NS app: because I travel daily by train and like to be prepared for any “surprises” on the route.
People would be surprised if they knew about me that….?
It may surprise people that I am really hugely competitive at games. A board game or a card game … I go full out for the win. At work, I am someone who likes to cooperate and help others, but as soon as a game is on the table, it’s every man for himself. Fortunately, I can also just laugh again afterwards. Most of the time…
If you could snap your fingers and become an expert at something, what would it be?
Musicality! I love and listen to music immensely, but I myself am not musical at all. I can’t sing and I don’t play an instrument. I admire people who do have the talent to make music.
About my role
As a digital designer at inBrain, I am responsible for developing and creating various graphic products. This can range from e-learnings, animations and infographics to occasional video editing. My main task is to develop a strong concept, in collaboration with the educationist, and design the content in a clear and visually appealing way so that it fits well with both the learning goals and the target audience.
Before I started at inBrain, I took two graphic design courses: one at the Grafisch Lyceum in Utrecht and a second at ArtEZ in Zwolle. These different courses have allowed me to develop a wide range of skills. My mbo education made me very client-oriented, while my experience at art school taught me to think conceptually and look creatively at challenges.
