At Arrival, we were an integral part of the design team for the Uber Car, among other projects. This is a purpose-built ride-hailing vehicle designed with input from both Uber and Uber drivers. The aim was to create a spacious and airy environment for both driver and passengers. It has been an extremely interesting experience to work so intensively with a global team during the darkest months of the Covid pandemic. It has helped us refine our approach to remote working and create a centralized, streamlined, all-digital design workspace.

Leading the design and CAD development of Bernico International's range of bespoke racing and leisure power boats.

Role as a design partner during the grass roots phase of this light EV-startup. Our role was the generation of the initial design concept, feasibility testing, product presentation and overseeing a prototype build.

Coaching teams of university students on various industrial design projects

During this internship I got my first taste of working at an established design agency. As I was just about to start my final Masters year at Product Development, Uantwerpen, I then at that point didn't have a clue how my first career steps would pan out. At Pars Pro Toto, I worked on imagining new concepts for their designer kids toys label "Quut", and got to know the ropes of putting a new product into the market. As well as sketching, modelling and hands on prototyping, there was a constant focus on the economic aspect in the development trajectory. At that time, it was an eye-opening experience. Apart from that, I learned to be more vocal and to get out of my shell and get things done.
