My background

What I have made, learned and carried forward.

Projects.

Human-Centred Design, 2020

Mocello

During COVID, my team and I made a coaster that opens an online coffee room when you place your mug on it.

An ordinary coffee moment became a spontaneous reason to catch up again.

Creative Technology, module 6

Stick Together

With my team, I made an LED hockey stick for training exercises with G-hockey players.

The stick responds with colour to a player’s actions. This makes an exercise more immediate, clearer and more fun to do together.

We tested it with players and coaches on the field. The project even caught the attention of RTV Oost.

Smart Guidance Rollator, BSc graduation research

The rollator that points the way

A rollator that senses obstacles and uses subtle braking force to show which direction is safe, without taking control away from the user.

For my graduation project, I developed this idea into a working prototype and tested it with six participants.

A board year at the UT student tennis association.

As chair, I kept the overview; as external affairs officer, I maintained contacts beyond the association.

2018-2023

Sailing instructor, five summers

Responsible for groups of children on and around the water for five summers.

2021-2024

Student Market Striker at Red Bull

As the regional manager for Twente, I visited hospitality businesses, built customer relationships and looked for commercial opportunities on the spot. Not desk work: lots of independent problem-solving, persuasion and delivering on agreements.

And now?

After Creative Technology, I continued with Business Development & Entrepreneurship in Utrecht.

I now look not only at what you can build, but also at who will truly benefit from it.
