Portfolio Hannah Lips 2020
Hello
I think that as a designer, it’s important to have a personal artistic vision, but to be able to respond to social developments too. This is why I’m interested in sustainable designs that have less impact on our environment. My name is Hannah. I was born on June 4th 1998 in Delft, the Netherlands. I’m an industrial product and packaging designer. I have a passion for photography and design. I chose the packaging design specialization, because I feel like I can express myself better in this field, particularly because the improvement opportunities in sustainability of the packaging industry. I’m also very interested in graphic design and try to combine packaging and graphic design where possible.

S’weed seaweed bar Food product design, packaging design
S’weed is a fictional brand created by me and 3 other students from different majors, for our minor Food Product Design. We had to create a food product that benefits from the healthy properties of seaweed. We decided to make a nuts and seeds bar with dates and other dried fruits. For this product, we needed to design a packaging as well, so we came up with a flow pack that can be rolled up in a sleeve. The flow pack is paper based and can therefore be recycled in the paper waste stream. The sleeve is made from paper as well and has a lot of space for branding. Every bar is individually sealed and between the bars, there is a tearing line to take one off. Our packaging idea saves a lot of material, as the primary packaging functions as secondary packaging too. My main responsibilities in this project were designing the structural packaging and visualizing the packaging. I made 3D models and renders in Fusion360 and edited them in Photoshop.

Douwe Egberts iced coffee Packaging design
For this university project, I had to design an on-the-go PET bottle for Douwe Egberts’ iced coffees, together with a multipack for two bottles. Both the bottle and multipack had to show Douwe Egberts’ heritage: warm and authentic. For this project, I used my design sketching and render/Photoshop skills to get the best result possible. I was one of the eight students with the best concepts who got to present their final product to the design department at Douwe Egberts. Here we received feedback and better insight in the production of PET bottles.

Reduce: a pasta box that fights food waste Packaging design The subject of this assignment was “Better With Less”. This could be interpreted in multiple ways and we took food waste as our main subject. UK households waste around 6.7 million tonnes per year of the 21.7 million tonnes of food purchased. This means that 32% of all food purchased per year is not eaten. By ripping and resizing this box, you fight this food waste. After resizing, the box is around half the size of the big box. This is enough to store your leftovers in and take them home. The box closes with a little flap to ensure food safety. In this group project, I was the head designer of this concept and I made all renders.

The SHAN system Product design
During a workshop with MOSO and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China, me and 3 groupmembers from Industrial Design Engineering and Architecture, created a shelving unit made entirely from bamboo. The idea behind this product was combining Western and Chinese culture together, as that was one of the purposes of the workshop. The product is based on a Chinese fan (shan), so the shelves can fan out in any way the consumer desires. The shelving unit can be incorporated in a paneling system that MOSO already provides. It’s up to the customer to choose in what configuration they want it: the wall can be closed, half open/half closed or all the way through. In this group project, my main responsibilities were prototyping and rendering the final images. I made our presentation poster together with another groupmember. We prototyped a miniature version of all configurations and made a part of our product in full size.

Double: art packaging that really protects Packaging design
Art is currently packed in a lot of bubble wrap and other plastics. To work towards a sustainable future, me and two groupmates designed reusable art packaging made of mycelium. Mycelium are the roots of mushrooms. By mixing this and an organic material, like hemp, the roots will consume the hemp and together a material is created that has the properties of polystyrene foam. After drying the material, it can be safely used to package goods. The packaging is fully biodegradable in nature. Our packaging uses a double glazing principle, so it consists of two boxes with a layer of air between them. This will protect the art pieces against impact, temperature and moisture. The walls have merlons and are held together with paper straps. My main responsibilities in this project were prototyping and CAD modeling.

Product photography Product photography
These are pictures I made during my elective course Product Photography. Before taking the actual pictures, I had to write a detailed plan for lighting, set up, camera angle et cetera. One of the works produced during this elective is an advert for Perla coffee. The beans and steam add warmth and authenticity. I used both Lightroom and Photoshop for editing this picture, because there was no detectable steam in the picture and I felt like that would really add character to the photo.

MINI fire extinguisher Product design, product photography
A one litre fire extinguisher as part of the MINI car accessories. It’s designed to match the MINI brand: playful, approachable and clever. The lines and shapes are inspired by the MINI cars. For example: the nozzle is based on the exaggerated and blown up weird proportions of a MINI’s headlights. This project was mainly focused on sketching and prototyping. I made a lot of foam models to eventually end up with the model on the next page. I later used this model in the product photography course.

Lightsource Product design
In this project, I had to design a bicycle light for urban bikers that provides good sight in both city and lesser well lit areas. The light is easy to attach and remove by putting the silicone strap around the back of the light. There is a large button on the back to ensure easy usability. The three green leds indicate the battery capacity. The body is made from ABS with a carbon look and the lens is a little frosted, to fit the urban look. I made a lot of sketches for this project. I did not really need to make any physical models, but I did put every part in Solidworks, from lens to electronics. I have also made a lot of renders to show every detail.
