A shared-control concept for autonomous driving: tangible controls and a graphic interface let every passenger fine-tune the car’s driving style (within a range the driver sets) and feel each other’s preferences through haptic feedback.

Master’s final project · Developed with Mercedes-Benz Design, Sindelfingen · 2024–25

An ergonomic control unit for tugboat captains operating azimuth thrusters: clearer directional feedback, unambiguous throttle, less strain across long shifts.

Smart-Ship B.V. · Research, prototyping and product design

A responsive physical interface for heating, light and ambience at home, exploring feed-forward and feedback you can feel before you act.

Group project · MSc Industrial Design, TU Eindhoven · 2024

A remote control for the smart home without smartphone or app: a twistable, doorknob-shaped controller tracked by computer vision, so the interface stays physical and shared.

Master project · MSc Industrial Design, TU Eindhoven

A shallow-water diving system fed by surface air instead of compressed-air tanks, making diving more accessible and easier to understand. Open-water tested in Mallorca, 2024; still in development.

Independent project · Ongoing since 2021

A research-through-design study on whether playing together changes how people bin their litter: one trashcan running two game modes, sixteen participants, and a result that split along the lines the theory cares about.

A version of me visitors can question directly: held to a knowledge base I wrote by hand, honest about being artificial, and honest about how it was made. My concept, my rules and limits, built with an AI coding assistant.
