Out of all the projects I have worked on, there are a few that stand out and fill me with a sense of pride for what I have accomplished. These projects have all been centred around sustainability, an area that I am deeply passionate about. I feel that I have gained valuable knowledge and experience through working on these projects and courses.
Here are the projects that I am the proudest of:
This is the product I developed during my internship at Roetz-Bikes. It's a housing for electronical components of the bike with a classification of IPX4. The key of this project was to make it easy to assemble, repairable, cheap and waterproof. This was a challenge because of the many requirments, but it made me think of an out of the box solution. I was able to make a housing that cheked of all of the requirements through rapid prototyping.
I created this product for the course ‘Circular Design’, in collaboration with the municipality of Amsterdam, the Zero Waste Lab, and Het Koffiehuis Amsterdam. We were asked to create a product with waste materials. I used wooden pallets and HDPE market crates to design the BatBox, a product that not only tackles material waste but also addresses the issue of the declining bat population in the Netherlands due to high population densities. Out of five projects, the BatBox was selected for further development.



As a part of my course assignment, I was tasked with designing eco-friendly packaging for KLM to make air travel more sustainable. I realized that even a tiny reduction in weight can make a significant impact in cutting down carbon emissions. So, I engaged in ideation and brainstormed a solution. I came up with the idea of using The Ocean Cleanup materials for reusable trays, which perfectly aligned with my values of promoting sustainability. To add more functionality, I made the trays rotatable, making them even more versatile and sustainable.
In my second project for the Circular Design course, I created a flower pot using old DVD covers provided by Kringloop West. Out of five proposals, my project was selected, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on this circular project. I developed a unique production technique to transform discarded DVD covers into a functional and sustainable product. This technique not only reduces waste but also provides a new purpose for the material. The process I developed is highly reproducible, allowing for efficient and sustainable manufacturing
