My name is Ilse you can make my day by showing me an awesome maker project.
I am currently working on my thesis as part of an MFA Interaction Design at the Umea Institute of Design. Within my studies I am taking an explorative approach, working hands on in sprints. This to quickly get an impression of the field of opportunities and have something on the table to discus with others.
Prior I did a BSc in Industrial Design in Eindhoven which included an internship at LEGO. After that I took some time out to travel and started a Master in Eindhoven. But I didn't feel challenged enough so I discontinued this program and went to study in Umea. Halfway through I took a gab year to do an internship at Tellart in Amsterdam.
