About
Since early childhood I was always interested in how things work an function, taking apart anything I could get my hands on. This curiosity transformed into a desire to create, make and design. I am usually in the process of making something new learning as much as I can during the process.

About
Nomad are the creators of premium travel equipment (sleeping bags, mats, tents, bags and outdoor clothing). Nomad found that new families with toddlers are ready to go out and explore again and are looking for equipment with some very specific features. One piece of equipment Nomad wants to create is a travel chair for kids aged 0-5 years old.

Concept Developing the idea, finding mechanical solutions and developing the concept using sketching and simple prototyping.
The mechanism
The chair is folded and unfolded by moving the center joint up and down. A locking mechanism is needed to keep the chair in a folded and unfolded position.
Finding the right dimensions.
Seat
The seat fabric is pulled tight when the chair is unfolded.
Central joint
Moving the central joint folds, and unfolds the chair.
Legs
The legs fold out for a wide stance, this gives the chair a stable footing.
Press button to unlock. To fold,
lift the chair and press the button. The weight of the chair will assist the folding.
prototype A full size model is made to test the mechanical functions of the chair. Made using PVC rods, PVC plate material, adhesive and tent canvas.
Center joint
For the prototype this joint is locked with an inserted rod.
Canvas seat
For the final design more support is needed, nylon straps will be inserted for additional strength and support.
prototype This test model is made to test the folding mechanism, the overal construction and the stability of the chair. All of which had a positive result.

About
Tulper is a new duth brand that helps to prevent all the plastics in the ocean by promoting reusing instead of single-using. Love water leave plastic, because there’s no planet B! Tulper is looking for a new original product to help prevent ocean plastic.

educating about the plastic pollution.
Recycle Using plastic retrieved from the ocean to make new products. Supporting plastic retrieval from the ocean.
Prevent Creating a sustainable alternative for disposable products.
All ideas are sorted into three groups, these groups all have a different aproach to helping the cause. For each group eight ideas are chosen and quickly sketch out, one idea is chosen to develop.
The Problem Disposable bottle
A plastic bottle which is used only once and then thrown away.
Normal bottle
When using a normal bottle you can only take one beverage and will still end up buying other beverages in disposable containers.
The Solution Modular bottle
With the modular bottle you can bring several different beverages, eliminating the need to buy disposable packaging.
A modular bottle
By combining smaller compartments with different properties, you can bring everything you need in one bottle. Herebye preventing the need to buy or use disposable containers.
Every part has the same thread, herebye creating the possibility of attaching them in any configuration.
Configuration
By combining different parts you can configure the bottle to your needs for any occassion.
Engineering
Creating a cad model of the concept in Solidworks. This model is also used te create renderings using Keyshot.
Work
Early morning coffee, midday yoghurt snack and an extra charge for your phone, all in one bottle.
Basic
A simple model to get you started with the idea.
Sport
Hook the bottle to your bag, containing all you need for a full workout.
Hiking
Strap the bottle to your wrist while you bring a warm cup of tea up the trail.
The modular bottle can be configured for any need, herebye preventing the need to buy any beverages in disposable packaging.
The ability to seperate all the components makes the parts easy to clean.

About
Creating the play experiences of tomorrow, working in a team of Designers, Developers, Engineers and Artists. Developing new LEGO concepts that thrill, excite and surprise. In overview, tasks included are: - Developing new concepts. - Developing physical prototypes, 3D models and prints. - Testing ideas/concepts on customers - boys aged 5-11. - Presenting ideas/concepts to experienced colleagues in the design team.
Work environment The facilities at Lego support a wide range of rapid prototyping methods, with multiple workshops, machines and excellent support staff. During the internship I was fortunate to gain experience in various prototyping techniques such as 3D printing and laser cutting. I becaome proficient in Siemens NX9 and had seminars teaching the basics of Rhinoseraus 3D.
Concepts All work done for Lego is strictly confidential and can not be shown. The internship consisted of multiple complex briefs, lasting between 1 to 6 weeks. During each brief, results and findings where presented to the various design teams. Using the feedback and consumer tests to adapt and refine the concepts.
Experience This challenging internship was an amazing experience, working alongside other great designers and being challenged to create new and exciting ideas and concepts.

About
Creating a new play experience by designing a unique play element that fits in the Lego system. Design work covered the full process from research, concept generation, 3D modeling and renderings to final design solution delivery. As a project writer my task was to create a new product through high proficiency using 2D/3D modeling, rendering software, sketches and prototypes.
Project As a project writer I worked alongside other designers on my own project, using the team to support the design process. Poject time management and organization was key, handling multiple smaller projects for teams where required.
Concept Doing less’ is one of the key design principles when designing a new product at Lego. The models constructed at Lego need to use as few bricks as possible, keeping the pieces simple and efficient in function. Most time was spent on itterating and adapting the design to reach the standards set by Lego. Deconstructing the function and engineering simplified solutions, designing to be low cost and optimized for manufacture.
Experience Working on a big project covering the full process, seeing the product evolve and adapt to be as optimal as possible was an extremely rewarding process. For a reference please contact me and I will pass you on to the design lead.

About
The Fender select series inspired me to build my own custom guitar. Using the destinct pattern in the wood for a visually stunning body. The body is a handcarved piece of Tulipwood, stained using oil to make the colours pop. The neck is maple with a rosewood fretboard. I built the guitar the summer before university, after my first year I used this project to practice my modeling and rendering abilities.
All electronics are done from scratch, based on schematics from a 1967 Seymour Duncan Telecaster wiring diagram. The wood is stained using Tru-Oil Gun Stock Finish, a linseed base oil.

About
Having enjoyed my first build, I decided to try another. This time building a stratocaster inspired by the guitar owned by blues player Robert Cray. The body is a handcarved piece of ash, a water based woodstain is used to colour the body. The neck is ash with a rosewood fretboard. All the hardware is gold plated and the tuners have pearl heads. As with my telecaster I used this project to practice my modeling and rendering abilities.
The electronics are done by hand, based of a 1950 Fender stratocaster.

Rendering all the different materials on the guitar was good practice for my rendering abilities. To create a more realistic feel, all materials are customised in keyshot to be as realistic as possible.

About
Custom motorcycle build. Building my dream motorcycle from an old Suzuki GS550. During the summer I designed and built a custom motorcycle learning about the mechanics of combustion engines and practicing my fabrication skills.
Most of the work was altering existing parts of the bike, most fabrication was done on the seat and rear fender. By cutting and reworking a bought seat and adding metal, a new rear end was created by hand.

About
After finishing university I came across two motorcycles for a bargain, I then decided to take some time to save these bikes from the scrapyard. This is the first of these two bikes. For this motorcycle I was inspired by the flat tracker style racing motorcycles. These bikes have a destinct style I tried to mimic and adapt for a street bike.
The finished motorcycle inspired by old and new, with retro colours and a some modern hints.
