Lighting pole based on circular and sustainable design
In this project I acted as project lead. Our assignment was to use rejected lighting poles in combination with wood to create a new lighting pole with less carbon emission.
My role was to make sure that the project group, consisting of product designers and mechanical engineers, could work together smoothly. I helped in connecting the work methods and steered our work towards our end goals.
Next to that, I was responsible for the main contact with our stakeholders and focussed on analysing the environmental impact of our new design.
I helped with the manufacturing of tests and prototypes and sketched some out-of-the-box concepts. We chose other concepts because those scored better on manufacturing, environmental impact and cost.
Frusta-Free Flask
The Frusta-Free Flash was a product of a course about user-centered-design. The flask can be used by someone in a work environment when they feel the need to share their frustration or fatigue.
The design and functionalities of the product were devised with a partner. I focussed on the arduino and sensor part of the functionalities, while my partner focussed on the manufacturing and easthetic.
We tested and evaluated the product together.
Wooden tablelamp with clamp
The wooden tablelamp with clamp was the very first product of my studies. I wanted to create a lamp that was inspired by Bauhaus forms and minimalism, but would also invite interaction and play. I designed a mechanism that would allowed the lamp to change it's shape without breaking up the electrical connection.
This design got awarded the 'most innovative design' award.
HAN Innovative student award
A couple of student and project groups of the HAN joined the 'meest innovatieve student' competition in the Netherlands. As a token of their gratitude for and pride in their students the HAN wanted to gift all these students an award, regardless of their success in the competition.
I had the opportunity to manufacture these awards. There was already a design, but I changed the red acryllic sign to look like an electrical filament. With circular design in mind I reused the circles that were lasercut out of the lightbulb shapes as a transition to the pedestal.
