Hi, I am Merlijn
I am a master's student in Integrated Product Design at the Delft University of Technology. I am just back from exchange at Georgia Tech. Born and raised in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, but often everywhere else. I love finding myself in unusual places in the name of design, or taking part in the weirdest experiments. I specifically focus on technology & embodiment design, sustainability and strategic innovation. Always up for a quick chat and/or an interesting conversation, contact me here.
Exploration
In my free time, you can find me working on my passion projects.  Realizing a large-scale event like the IO Festival, creating mesmerizing light installations or framing unique stage visuals, organizing study trips, photographing, swimming, jamming, or exploring the world. For me, there is always something to create or experience, preferably both at the same time. Check out some of my light work!
Design Vision
I find energy in creating the most diverse range of products and services, always with a holistic approach. With embodiment design at the forefront, I enjoy working with both physical and digital technologies, leveraging my background in computer science and mechatronics.

I take a research-driven approach, with preferably lots of prototyping. In every project, I strive to integrate a strategic and sustainable perspective. Combining my vision for consumer needs and strong ecological background, I create a future-proof and innovative ideas.
