At VLD Hapro, I designed, engineered, and developed the next generation of tanning beds. This involved collaborating with departments such as marketing, quality, purchasing, production, laboratory, and sales to ensure timely delivery.One of my key achievements was collaborating with MMID a design studio on the exterior design of the tanning bed. I ensured the technical details met the internal standards and provided feedback for 3D modeling. Additionally, I designed, engineered, and developed the interior of the tanning bed, which included many injection molding parts and aluminum extrusions.To ensure the light exposure on the skin was precise and safe, I collaborated with an external party to develop a dedicated simulation software (Luceat). I also designed instruction manuals, stickers, positioning instructions, and logos.Throughout the process, I discussed and presented new designs and ideas with marketing and sales, while keeping in close communication with the quality department to avoid problems later on. I also arranged test setups with the laboratory.I'm proud of the work I did at VLD Hapro and am excited to bring my skills and experience to new challenges in the future.

‘S-Hertogenbosch

For my thesis project I worked at Smaac in s’ Hertogenbosch, here I worked on the development of a baby rocker. Smaac had a problem for me to solve: many parents have a baby that cries in a moment where you don’t have time, this can be when you are putting away the groceries, are pushing your other child on the swing or when you have people over. Thus a device was developed that, with the use of a weighted mechanism, would rock your baby-stroller with the baby inside. The rocking motion would calm down the baby. The whole externals and internals where developed, with a working prototype including light animations. The prototype was tested with several babies, this small sample size responded positive. Due to company secrecy I am only allowed to show detail images and some sketches of other concepts.

Tokyo, Japan

One of my main projects was designing a butsudan (a Japanese budhist altar, often used in homes and temples), rather then traditionally big butsudans I needed to design one for small appartments found in bigger cities like Tokyo. Our client “Wakabayashi”, a traditional butsudan fabrication firm, has craftsman all over Kyoto, which we all paid a visit, to see how they practiced their different crafts. With all this knowledge I designed multiple different concepts that benifit the craftsmen’s skill.

My third year internship was done at Specs e-mobility, here they were developing the now in production Electric Dutchman, an electric scooter. I did multiple projects, one of my main projects was the development of a baggage carrier. This carrier was done from start till prototype. During this project I learned to work with production companies and their rules.
