AquaBlu x TU Delft, from concept to detailed design
The purest drinking water
During this project I worked on designing a modular & smart water purification system able to convert any sweet water source (with the exception of black water) into pure drinking water for Aquablu.

Many innovative features such as the water flow block, stacked extrusion frame, and the reuseable filters enabled us to meet the extremely challenging manufacturing price point of about €250.

Waiting is not a waste
People feel as if they waste their time waiting for trains. TravFlow sustains the mental 'travel-flow', thereby giving NS travelers the feeling that even when they change trains, they are not wasting time.

These TravFlow displays beautiful vistas, slowly moving and changing before their eyes, to its users within while being welcoming to the people on the platform.

These areas allow a suspension of disbelief for the people inside to create the sensation of one continuous and relaxing journey, by not disrupting the 'travel-flow'.

project
Royal Dutch Library x TU Delft, graduation project
The paradox of choice
People experience a lot of discomfort in their selection process. There is the paradox of wanting the best book and getting this choice right without having read every book. The sheer number of books increases choice paralysis even more. Choosing a single book out of thousands is the hardest choice.

So I reframed the problem into: “What is the easiest choice?”. As it turns out, limiting the scope to two books and choosing which you think you prefer. Making this 'easiest' choice many times instead of the hardest choice once greatly reduces choice paralysis and creates an exciting selection process for visitors.

Designing and Creating an Indie Game
Mind-bending puzzles
Delirium is the Indie Game I made for the game design project in the computer science minor. In this game you play as a lost boy trying to find his way out of a corrupted forest by solving mind-bending puzzles.

In this project I worked as the lead game designer in our six man team and I created the code architecture for the player and puzzle systems. I furthermore guided the projects art direction, Cooperation between the technical and artistic sides of the project is always a great challenge.
