Industrial design
Exchange studies 2020
I spent the spring of 2020 as an exchange student at ISU. The school is more of a classical industrial design school, with more emphasis on “pure” design and less mechanical engineering. I really enjoyed the change of pace and the new challenges.
I got the opportunity to do the senior project in collaboration with Vermeer. I also took courses in creative thinking, advanced model making and 3D motion graphics. You can see one of my models from the model making course here: Kettle
My GPA was 4.0

(5 months)
I was an intern at Sruli Rechts / Serial Future Visions design studio in Amsterdam, NL.

The internship was mostly autonomous, where me and other interns worked together on several projects at once. My responsibilities included FDM prototyping, social media posts, engineering, purchasing, PCB design/assembly and programming.
The internship further improved my skills of working in groups. I also learnt a lot about the design, fashion and art world.
