Hi I am Thijmen!


I’m an Industrial Design Engineering student with a hands-on mindset and a strong focus on problem solving. I enjoy working in collaborative, high-energy environments where ideas move quickly and teams come together to make things happen. I get excited about tackling real-world challenges and turning them into meaningful design opportunities.





What I do:
Contribute across the full design process with a flexible skillset:
- Strategic Thinking – exploring user value, feasibility, and business model alignment
- Team Facilitation – project planning, taking initiative, keeping momentum
- User Research – field observations, user testing, and impact analysis
- Concept Development – ideation, framing design opportunities, storytelling
- Prototyping – building physical models, assembling electronics, testing interactions
- Visual Communication – sketching, concept visuals, presentation design, video creation
I enjoy switching between roles depending on what a project needs—whether that’s digging into user insights, building something tangible, or leading the team from idea to outcome.

What I am eager to learn:
I’m always looking for new ways to grow. I want to gain more experience in a professional studio setting: understanding how teams collaborate, make creative decisions, and turn ideas into real, meaningful products and/or services.
I’m especially curious to explore:
- How design direction takes shape within a team
- How to balance creativity with constraints like time, budget, and production
- How to communicate ideas to clients in a way that inspires and aligns
I hope to find more clarity in which direction I want to go within the field of design—by experiencing different types of projects, roles, and perspectives during a future internship. I’m excited to learn from experienced designers, contribute with energy and initiative, and continue to improve my skills.
