Brainstorm

The moment I knew what I wanted to do:
For a long time I have known that Product Design was the right decision for me to choose. This also means that there was or is not a certain kind of image that reflects this moment for me. But IKEA has always inspired me to look at products (in the literal term) in a very different way. For instance the IKEA Concept Kitchen (IKEA Concept Kitchen 2025).

What do I make?
Although I have chosen for product design, my background lays in graphic- and digital design. Together with Emmy Jaarsma, I have made several hat designs over the course of a few years. Our best work even won the International Hat Designer of the Year award in 2013. For the hat, I mainly designed the digital pattern for the laser-cutter.

Topic of Interest:
For this practice I want to explore the concept of Open Data. It fascinates me that a lot of information is freely accessible on the internet to be used and processed.
