In 2015, I completed my Master's degree in Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology. Since 2020, I've been working as a Research & Development Engineer at in-lite design. Alongside my work, I completed a degree in Embedded Systems Engineering in 2018 through an evening study.
When you combine manufacturing products with creative design, you get me: an Industrial Designer with a unique skillset spanning both engineering and design. A company needs an Industrial Designer if they don't just want an everyday product, but a sleek, appealing, and user-friendly one. As this Industrial Designer, I make your product "cool" or "sexy" enough to make people want it — to make it stand out.
Working in the Research & Development department, both as an R&D Engineer and Product Designer. Responsible for the ideation and design of outdoor lighting products, as well as the technical development of concepts and translating them into market-ready products. Initiator of 'human dimming': a new dimming technique based on capacitive dimming, introduced across a range of light fixtures.
Member of the Research & Development team, responsible for the development of new products in the sanitaryware sector, including luxury baths, shower cabins, steam cabins, whirlpools, shower trays and bathroom furniture. Designed and developed the Oviedo, an award-winning solid surface bath.
Working in the multimedia team, responsible for creating and managing (interactive) digital media such as developing and maintaining various webshops and media expressions. Also responsible for designing product banners and other promotional material to stimulate sales.
As an Industrial Designer and R&D Engineer I have been designing and developing new products from ideation till production. The skills and experience acquired over the years are covered in all phases of the product development process including research, ideation, conceptualitsation, design, production and often even some marketing aspects.
A well-designed product stands out, making it more likely to be adopted by users. In order to do so I always research and brainstorm a wide range of creative solutions. From there I draw out the ideas gained from the insights from this research and the brainstorms. Product design encourages thinking outside the box and generating a multitude of ideas. In a crowded market, unique concepts or designs can differentiate a brand from its competitors, making its products stand out.
I am experienced in creating 3D computer-aided design models through solid modeling software (Solidworks). This helps me in communicating product designs to engineers, manufacturing teams, and other stakeholders. Creating good 3D CAD models reduces costs as it helps eliminating the need for many physical prototypes. It also helps me improving quality making it possible to identify and fix design flaws early on in the design process.
In the past I have created many fully functional prototypes with a 3D printer and creating the .. with an arduino. I have the basic solder and programming skills. And I know my way with tools.
Making advanced 3D product renderings, both stills and animations. 3D product rendering can look just as realistic as real photographs, that is what I aim for. Creating visuals that don’t just show but convince and sell an idea or product! A bad 3D rendering is bad, just as bad photography is bad, that is why I use Keyshot for making my renders. Using renders saves costs in product photography and expensive 360 views. Also small adjustments to a camera position or even an adjustment to the product is then easily done. Exploded views, functions of the product.
The visual appeal of products are not to be understated. Aesthetics play a crucial role in attracting users and significantly influence their perception of quality and reliability. Good design marries functionality with visual elegance, creating products that are not only efficient but also visually appealing. In my work I therefore try to find a balance in color, shape, and texture, creating visual harmony that is pleasing to the eye and aligns with the brand’s identity, creating a consistent and recognizable look.
A recently launched outdoor lighting fixture for in-lite that I designed: a standing lamp with a polycarbonate housing, created for ambient and accent lighting in the garden. BREEZE introduces 'breathing light' to in-lite's outdoor lighting range for the first time — a breathing effect designed with a natural, random rhythm. Each fixture subtly shifts in intensity, creating a soft, breathing play of light, while overall brightness in the garden remains perfectly balanced.
A newly launched pond lighting fixture I designed for in-lite, developed in partnership with Aquascape (USA). BEAM can be placed in various positions in and along the pond, combined with a range of accessories. Purpose-built for underwater use in rocky pond environments and surviving extreme low temperatures, it features a specially formulated coating and is designed to meet the strict guidelines required for (swimming) ponds.
One of the newest and most innovative concepts that I have designed; stackable, infinitely rotatable and can be tilted without any visible hinge or wire
Chique portable table light designed by me. It is a wireless and rechargeable table lamp. In the distinctive style of the in-lite SWAY concept. A beautiful, handy table lamp for both indoor and outdoor use. Simply hold your hand over the light source to dim the table lamp to the desired brightness and colour temperature with human dimming.
First design I made that started a range of human dimming products like the Sway Table.
A launched outdoor lighting fixture for in-lite: a standing lamp with a dark smoked-glass housing, designed to accentuate standout spots in the garden. The Voque creates a beautiful seating or lounge corner, transforming outdoor spaces into a luxurious setting. Its minimalist design fits both modern and classic gardens.
