The European Supply Chain Forum enables professionals in and around supply chains to create, exchange and integrate knowledge by collectively exploring the future. Fresh Forces supported the development of their new corporate identity, and I joined in to translate the visual elements into a tangible representation. The logo is extended by mirror shapes, representing the three different communities. When connected, the logo becomes a fidget toy – anchoring the core values and community levels on a daily basis. The pieces can also be connected into different shapes – like a (supply) chain – to share their narrative with...

Together with EKB Someren and TSG Group Eindhoven I developed custom robot hands, product docks and corresponding choreography for a trade fair about precision machining. These 3D printed parts allowed the robot to supply a new keychain to the audience every time one was taken. In between those times it would use the same grippers to open a bottle of beer, grab it, and have a toast with the machine...

The Lantern is a keychain-sized device that serves as a pop-up communication hub for disaster recovery – over an offline, wireless network. With tools to find supplies, ask for help and volunteer, the Lantern will keep communities organized in pivotal moments of need. I’ve been hired to develop a 3D printed casing that can be shared publicly and produced locally, with more components being added over time as the hardware side of it all is taking shape. It’s amazing to experience great collaboration with people across the Atlantic by means of digital fabrication tools – especially when the product is so inspiring....

I produced this hand-driven mechanical company award for GBS Int. based on the mechanized heart gears I realized for Marquis (a variation on Emmett’s original design)....

I’m helping Stichting Cubiss Brabant to develop a game that allows low-literate people to build their social world with 2D/3D icons, at the start and end of their Taalhuis program. For the players it serves as a great conversation guide, and for the organization it is a welcome data tool to measure the impact of the program....

The Game Solutions Lab (located in Eindhoven) hired me to do the prototyping for a project in Sittard-Geleen, where the municipality wanted to strengthen district ownership among their citizens. We came up with a cultural probe in the shape of an app that would allow for one picture to be taken each day. When started it would prompt a challenge for the player (i.e. what’s the most adventurous place in Sittard-Geleen), giving them one hour to find a location and take their picture. Then the camera would switch to the back and a short video recording was made, explaining why the player chose this spot. Finally another prompt would pop up, asking the player to hand the camera over to someone else (i.e. someone half their age). I designed and 3D printed the camera casings for the tablets as well. Five of them are were distributed, and they’re still traveling around (Aug.2018) – uploading a new photo daily....

I was invited by some members from Founded By All to cooperate in the development of a game that would help representatives of Brainport to share three different scenarios for the future of our economy to entrepreneurs in their network in an engaging way. We developed a game revolving around collecting resources, and the cooperation between start-ups, suppliers and large scale industry. The scenarios were communicated through news flashes like Monopoly’s chance cards, and the game was very well received....

MyKOONN is a platform that connects hotels to local designers, together developing (exclusive and sustainable) 3D printed souvenirs – based on a basic bottle cap design. They’ve developed a software plugin for Fusion 360 that enables the designers to add text customization to any of their designs, which makes the souvenirs that are ordered truly one of a kind. Personally I’m connected to Novotel Eindhoven, for whom I designed ‘CityScape Eindhoven’, ‘Dolfi Surprise Egg’, and a simple city cap with the logo’s of Eindhoven and Novotel to be used as a giveaway for loyal customers. Try the customizer at MyKOONN.com....

Broed is a network organization in the city of Den Bosch, and they asked me to think about an object that they could use to explain their added value. The company logo is a yellow egg, which made sense to start with, but I realized that the concept of warmth / energy was even more relevant for them. I combined the egg shape with a color shift material, changing from green to yellow at around 30 degrees Celsius. The idea is to write down your goal (focus on the ‘why’, so the ‘how’ remains flexible), put it in the egg, and start brooding. It’s a nice shape to throw around and helps to stay focussed on the challenge within. Yet it’s hard to make the color change by just holding it. If you participate in events organized by Broed, like a workshop or pitch training, it will definitely start changing towards yellow – and once you’ve met your goal you can break the egg and show everyone what makes your idea so...
