PROFILE

I have a bachelor degree Industrial Design Engineering at the The Hague University of Professional Education and currently I am doing my masters in Media Technology at the University of Leiden. As a Industrial Design Engineer I was trained to be an all-round product designer, with knowledge of production techniques/materials/physics /marketing and skills with regard to hand sketches, designing, model making and computer (such as 3D-CAD and Photoshop). As a student in the Media Technology program I learn how to do research in a creative way and I learn a lot about Interaction and multimedia design. I can work together with different people and work independent as well. I am an outgoing, passionate and enthusiastic person, who wants to see the world. In addition to this I did a 6 months internship at Daifuku Designs in Barcelona and I traveled through Brazil for 4 months.
