Skills

The educational model of Industrial Design at the University of Technology in Eindhoven is not very regular. Instead of following a lot of subjects and having an exam after you went through a 500 page book on dynamics of materials, something different happens. In Eindhoven there is a platform where students develop themselves in a 10 competency based model. Each of these competencies represents an aspect of the world of industrial design. The goal of this education is to have an overall development over these 10 competencies through the years. There are not old fashioned subjects like Calculus or Statistics. In assignments you learn things you can immediately apply to the design process, which in the end is a big part of you as a designer. The focus of this education is on creating innovative intelligent products, involving the user throughout the whole process. With this network of interconnecting competencies students are formed in a way they can communicate with al sorts of fields, from engineers to businessmen.

This list below shows my skillset. I devised them in three catogeries, to make sure I do not create a false image of what I'm capable of doing. The pictures show user tests I took with seniors for an assignment I took during my study.
