For my bachelors final project, I made an educative toy which contained a method which made it possible to teach anything to children. The corrective feedback the toy gives is adjustable to modern trends under children or even adults. The feedback consists of music only which makes this product unique in its own way.
I can hardly remember the time where I wasn't exersizing music. I am simply born with it. With an entire family active in the field of music, there wasn't even an option for not taking part in this type of art. Don't get me wrong though: If I had the insurance that I could earn a living in this field, I'd absolutely go for it. Below are some examples of what I've made so far, styles vary from Ambient piano to Hip hop to House. I've been experiencing a collaboration with somebody (Amy Duncan) online I've never even met. Yet the result didn't suffer from that fact.
Currently, I am busy most often with either producing electronic music or mixing music together because I took part in a basic course of DJ'ing. So far so good, in future I intend to start mixing music in the clubs. Whereever I'll ground, my musical development keeps on running every way.
Soft / Ambient
Hip Hop / Lounge/ House
Animation
For a minor Imagination on the faculty of Architecture at the Delft University of Technology, I made an animation. This video displayes I'm competent to start, however, some comments can be made on the story. However, I very much enjoyed this project, it did consume a lot of time though and because of this, in following projects I'll most likely adapt my workflow a little.
Beyond 3D Computer Visualization
Before I made my animation, I also made a poster using Maya for another course on the faculty of Architecture. I have always been interested into visualizing 3 dimensional objects with a computer. This course tought my how.
Creative Research - A Scientific Poster
For a course Creative Research during my Master, together with Patrick Heneise, Erik Jansen and Barend Nagelkerke we came up with an example of Creative Research according to Bas Haring. Although I had some textual input in this project, I mainly made the poster. Keep in mind while viewing this poster: It's a scientific poster, which automatically implies lots of text rather than a few keywords explaining the whole idea behind it.
Vision in Product Design
During my bachelor education I took part in a course called Product design 3 where the focus was placed on a method called Vision in product design (VIP). This vision tought me that there are more abstraction levels into user product interaction. This method is very valuable to me, however, I do think that this method shouldn't be automatically applied on any developing product. Some products are simply good the way they are, but can be innovative on different aspects like: the materials used, the place where it's fabricated, etc.
In this particular product we took 'family as one' as a focus point. In our believes we thought that our product should provide the users more interaction with each other. Therefore we made a product which interacted with both parents and the children. The product (called the S-tile) becomes one with all family members because all of them interact with the product in their own way.
Every member can add their own piece of bathroom equipment to the S-tile. If somebody needs a shelf , it's no problem: the S-tile provides the users with a universal place on the wall where you can place multiple types of additions: shelves, towel dryers, cupholders, soapdispencers, etc.
