Welcome to New Intimacity
During a recent module, we dealt with the topic of New Intimacy. With input from practising trend researchers, we developed a collection of phenomena and artefacts around the topic of intimacy and its future. Subsequently, we created a trend map in the form of a colourful city map.

Tactile Coffee
The research project - Tactile Coffee - is about creating a tactile and aromatic material from leftover coffee grounds.

A glimpse into my sketchbook
In my sketchbook I like to experiment and combine different techniques, such as analog photography, illustration, painting, trash, and collages to create interesting compositions and color combinations. But most importantly, my sketchbook is where my artistic soul can run free.
Workshops, Events & Exhibitions
I frequently visit events, talks, and take part in workshops to broaden my horizon, expand my skills and knowledge, and keep myself updated on trends, innovation methods, and Design Thinking practices.
