The education and the supervision that I provide, center around the sensory experiences that products evoke and how you can design for such experiences.

Manage Your Master (ID4060)

MYM introduces students to the structure and possibilities of the MSc program at IDE. It supports students in developing their own, personal vision on their Master education and in developing a plan for the final year of their Master program.

Food and Eating Design

Even though designers are specifically trained to create and build new products, their contribution to food innovation is still relatively small. This is a pity, because providing people with good quality, healthy and appetizing food products that are produced in a sustainable and labor-friendly way, and that take into account local differences in consumption contexts, habits and rituals is quite a challenge. Furthermore, the regional, seasonal, and perishable character of foods challenges designers to find solutions that connect consumers with agriculture, trading, and processing methods. In addition, food products are interesting prototyping materials, because they allow direct interactions with all the senses and thus provide immediate, intuitive feedback on their design decisions.
