      At Foundation We Are I am working in a team to redesign the social services for the municipality Eindhoven. I am conducting research in the form of creating and hosting creative generative design workshops with stakeholders, analysing their outcomes, mapping the design process and developing engaging scenarios for Eindhovens future. In a separate project I am setting up an open call which will enable and analyse interdisciplinary collaborations between designers and climate scientists, in order to develop innovative forms of collaboration. I am laying the groundwork for a research track which will document and analyse the collaborations. Show less

      At Belvilla I worked in the Customer Care department where I developed good communication skills in various languages in order to guide guests and homeowners through complaints and emergency situations. I provide appropriate solutions within strict time limits and used research and documentation skills to keep a good overview of customer interactions and important booking details.

      During my 6 month internship at Scheepers&Renee I worked on a variety of housing projects. I provided data for urban planners and architects by mapping and analysing the social landscape of neighbourhoods, interviewing inhabitants on their activities, their living situations, needs and wishes. I also designed and built a movable installation which we used for first hand research across various locations in Eindhoven. With the input of experience-architects I then drafted a design proposal for the social, urban and natural transformation of the neighbourhood. I focused on how architecture and urban planning could facilitate the desired transformation and activate community participation. Show less
