When I was 16 years old, I started to take classes in graphic design and experimented with Adobe. I prefer images over words because words are just the meaning that we are taught to be. Clear visualization can be understood by anyone even if you do not speak the same language. Continuing on that I studied product design, so I could help make things people use in dare everyday lives and try to make them a little more useful.

Since 2018, my passion for designing and crafting furniture grew during my studies in wood techniques in high school. I pursued a three-year course in industrial product design at Howest, and now I am certain that I want to continue in this field.

Van jongs af aan ben ik altijd gefascineerd geweest door het maken van meubels en heb ik een grote interesse ontwikkeld in machines en technologieën/ technieken. Ik zou graag willen dat de gewone mens kan genieten van betaalbaar design, vervaardigd met eerlijke materialen. Het moet ook mogelijk zijn om gemakkelijk onderdelen te vervangen als ze kapot gaan.

I've always had a passion for creativity. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming an architect. I began by exploring interior design, but my fascination with product design grew stronger over time. Now, I'm fully immersed in studying product design.

20 years young and fueled by a passion for design. My design journey kicked off in high school, where I immersed myself in a 6-year exploration of design and prototyping. Taking the leap into industrial product design for the next 3 years, I discovered not just the designer within me but a canvas for evolving skills and interests.

Creativity has always been in me. Art school was something I looked forward to every week in grade school. After taking STEM/Industrial Science in high school, I felt I was missing that creativity. Then I decided to pursue Industrial Product Design. Besides that, my hobbies are also all kinds of DIY things and experimenting with different materials, making clothes.... I am a creative jack-of-all-trades.

Ever since I was little, I had been busy creating little inventions. After high school, I knew for sure that I wanted to pursue a creative path. I hope to contribute to a more pleasant and brighter world through my studies.

from the moment i started high school i decided that i wanted to make something and that evolved into a love for technologie an design.

Personal fulfillment: Working in creative industries allows me to engage in work that aligns with their personal interests and values. It provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment by allowing them to express

A few years ago, when I started learning to work with arduino. I realized the possibilities in creating and designing products.

I was very tempted to learn about the graphic editing world to get started in a creative way. When I wanted to change direction I found the direction of industrial product design. A direction where I can bring out both my technical knowledge and creative side to design new unique products. This was the moment I realised I could turn my hobby into a job.

I have been creative all my life, even as a kid I was already creating things. In high school I studied architecture and there we had an assignment where we had to design a chair. Since then I knew that product design was what I wanted to with my life.

I first realized I wanted to work in the creative industries during my time in secondary school. I chose to study graphic design, which allowed me to explore and nurture my passion for being creative. Being creatively engaged has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I find immense joy in expressing my creativity and bringing ideas to life visually. The ability to channel my creativity and create visual concepts gives me a sense of fulfillment and happiness. Ever since that reali

When I was younger, I was always interested in how products are made. How does someone come up with an idea and how does he end with a physical product. I always focused my school career towards that interest of me. The hole process of designing a product is such a interesting process and it has become my dream to be a designer as my hobby/job.

I chose industrial product design because of my passion for nature, problem-solving thinking and the need to always be doing something with my hands. It allows me to combine my love of being outdoors with creating impactful designs. My talent for problem solving finds its way into coming up with innovative solutions to user needs. In addition, working with materials and building prototypes gives me the satisfaction of tangible results. Industrial product design is the perfect balance .

It all started from an early age, when I was already involved in art. I had a natural fascination with art, and over time my interest evolved into architecture and design. I soon fell in love with well-designed, beautiful and functional objects. When I decided to study industrial product design, it was like a fire ignited inside me. My passion for the creative industry grew with every class and project.

because i wanted the freedom of doing my own thing in what i do.

Since childhood, I have loved being creative. From drawing and crafting to producing music and designing products. I knew I had to do something creative! During my search for higher studies, I stumbled upon Industrial Product Design and was immediately sold.

I have always been fascinated by products and how everything is put together and made. I have been learning new skills to design and build things since a young age.

As a child I really enjoyed watching the incredible show "How it's made". I've always been creative and keen on learning new things. Working with my hands is something I've always enjoyed. During the Covid-19 pandemic there was a need for face shields. I started a crowdfunding so I could 3D print face shields to give to healthcare workers. afterwards I decided to start the study Industrial Productdesign at Howest Kortrijk.

Ik ben al iets ouder dan de gewone student. Ik ben altijd wel creatief bezig geweest maar nog niet professioneel. Na enkele aandoeningen ben ik me aan het omscholen tot ProductOntwerper via HOWEST Kortrijk. Hier scherpte ik mijn creatieve skills aan. En na 3 jaar ben ik klaar om een nieuwe job uit te oefenen binnen zorg innovatie en/of innovatie in de circulariteit. 2 zaken waar ik me heel graag wil in toespitsen en verder mee wil gaan.

when i realised i found energy in making and adapting things
