About me
I am Strategic Product Design master student at the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at Delft University of Technology. I recently started my graduation project at the Cardiology Department at EMC. In this project, we will try to make some of the products they use more sustainable by engaging stakeholders in co-creation.
I have always been interested in medical topics. In this project I can combine my design skills with this interest to make a positive impact on the industry’s sustainability. In my free time I love to hike with friends and enjoy nature, and play (beach)volleyball and other sports. I also love to be creative and am currently really into crochet and making clothes and accessories.
What do I do?
Next to the small sustainability efforts in my personal life, I now also hope to have a more significant positive impact on sustainability with this project!
What do I plan to do during ESCH-R?
In this project, we will explore different product groups used at the cardiology department. For these products, we will identify the stakeholders and analyse their needs, values, and opportunities and barriers to create a more sustainable product or system. By doing this, we can design a co-creation approach that will facilitate the stakeholders in working together to reach the common goal of a more sustainable product/process, whilst keeping in mind the value for all stakeholders involved.
