DARIA is a product which improves the indoor air purification capacity of a plant. It enhances the plant’s aesthetically power to produce wellness.

After creating the concept together as a team, I took the role to create the greater part of the prototype.

It was interesting to notice the difference in study-background and interest within the design process between me and my project members. It resulted in a very professional and complete design.

“A table for one please!”

User testing

In this project, I created a concept around the interaction of dining alone.

Through discreet observations, interactive booklets, and a solo dining experience, I developed a chair and table designed specifically for solo diners.

Patent based juicer

In this group project, we designed a new juicer inspired by an old patent. We analyzed the original patent and calculated the torque required for various fruits to ensure an effortless juicing experience. To align with the fictional client Eva Solo’s brand style, we conducted client-focused research.

Using SolidWorks, we created a 3D model and ran a strength analysis to confirm durability under use. A mock-up was also created to test functionality.

The assignment for this project was to design an inflatable tent inspired by kite-surfing kite techniques, in collaboration with Vliegerop.

With guidance from a supervisor experienced in art and architecture, I explored alternative methods beyond the TU’s structured approach, which encouraged me to critically assess and appreciate various design techniques. I experimented with different materials and shapes, ultimately constructing a scale model with a laser-cut framework and fabric to showcase the design.

Skyline

2018 -2020
Own project

Lasercutting

I designed a unique skyline for my graduating friends, featuring Delft’s iconic buildings, including our student association building and everyone’s student house. The skyline serves as both an aesthetic piece and a functional coat rack, with hooks made from nuts and bolts for an industrial, tech-inspired look—perfect for Delft University of Technology!

As a variation, I also created a Valencia skyline as a gift for my newborn nephew.
