As a designer, I am driven by the constant evolution of society, seeking to capture and apply emerging trends to my work.
I am imaginative, insightful, and explorative, yet my attention to detail ensures an observant and analytical approach. I view design as a puzzle; I am intrigued by the "how" of engineering, which allows me to bridge the gap between systematic, analytical thinking and creative brainstorming.
Both my academic and personal trajectory have always been defined by the interconnectedness of creative and technical aptitudes. My background in Art & Design provided a strong foundation in analog drawing, color theory, and material exploration. At TU/e, I have developed these skills both physically and digitally. I am now proficient in usingworkshop machinery for high-fidelity prototyping; working with wood, metal, textiles, and plastics. Simultaneously, I explored and developed in the Adobe Creative package, Figma, and Procreate to enhance visual posters and graphic design in my work and portfolio.
On the other hand, my educational background in Mathematics and Physics reflects my drive to combine technical rigor with aesthetic exploration. I am specifically motivated to integrate Math, Data & Computing with Technology & Realization. I aim to use both qualitative and quantitative data to create meaningful, innovative outcomes that meet current societal demands. Although my earlier education was not focused on programming, I am proactively pushing myself to reach a high level of technical proficiency to ensure my designs are both smart and functional.
In a team environment, I am an outgoing and approachable extrovert. I naturally end up aiming for leadership and pitching roles, where I can leverage my skills in writing and verbal communication. I am clear, decisive, and have higher standards for myself and my work. However, this stubbornness and belief that my ideas and thoughts are usually the best unfortunately can sometimes cloud my judgment when it comes to listening to other people’s points of view. I am actively working on this by embracing the collaborative environment at TU/e, learning to combine skills and propose stronger, more diverse yet unified outcomes.
I see the future as a landscape of endless possibilities. By combining my artistic intuition with a determined engineering mindset, I am excited to innovate and produce concepts that leave my personalized mark on society as an integrated designer and engineer.
