Axium.
Redefining head control for people with quadriplegia.

Redefined the way patients with a high spinal cord injury can navigate their powered wheelchairs. A new intuitive design that is centered around the user, instead of the other way around.

The Axium was designed for TU Delft’s Products Now course, in collaboration with Sunrise Medical: a manufacturer of powered wheelchairs.

Our team revisited a prototype of a Head Control System for patients with high spinal cord injuries. A redesign ensures accurate control of the powered wheelchair through intuitive head movements. The result is a sleek design that does not hinder the user.

Overhauled electronics allow for ultimate fine-tuning and plug-and-play installation.

Optimized Severe Burns Collar for patients with burns in the neck region.

Optimized the creation of a Severe Burns Collar to reduce labor time for the Amsterdam University Medical Center, and improve care for patients with severe burn injuries.

This project was done for TU Delft’s Advanced Prototyping minor, in collaboration with the Amsterdam University Medical Center’s 3D Innovation Lab, and was awarded with a score of 9/10.

Our team revisited a prototype of a neck collar for patients with severe burn injuries, and reduced manual fabrication time from 40 hours down to 1.5 hours by using non-contact 3D scanning, a custom parametric design algorithm, and improved silicone casting techniques.

Our improved process ensures the patient can wear a sturdy and custom brace as soon as possible, to prevent changes in posture due to shrinking scar tissue.

Getting people
working from home out of isolation, with Lounge.

Concept for a smart speaker to connect people working from home, during coffee and lunch breaks.

75% of people working from home during the corona pandemic experienced some form of loneliness. Lounge exists to combat this.

When on a coffee or lunch break, simply activate the Lounge smart speaker to get instantly connected to coworkers who are also taking a moment of rest.

Designed as part of the TU Delft Industrial Design Engineering bachelor, in the ‘Designing Product Services’ course.

Measure twice, print once.
Or thrice. That’s the magic of Rapid Prototyping.

Highly custom 3d printed braces, templates, and molds for a 19-inch rack.

Currently used in a live electronics testing setup, these components were crucial in the mounting of hardware in a 19-inch rack.

Armed with a pair of calipers, I took measurements and had components ready in under two hours.

I listen to your needs and craft an elegant and mechanically sound solution to fit your use case.

Enjoying pizza outside in the company of friends, with
Hopper Gourmet.

Concept for an outdoor table with oven to bake pizzas and more, based on the Extremis Hopper.

Made during the first semester of the bachelor Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft, this project was an introduction to various design and research methods.

Much care was taken in the selection of materials to match its use case: to be put in forests by forest management. A robust and sustainable product to stand the test of time.
