Who I am

I’m an Industrial Design Engineer from TU Delft with a solid foundation in classic design and a real passion for footwear and skateboarding. I’m all about solving real-world problems with creativity, hands-on work, and a sharp eye for detail.

What really sets me apart is my entrepreneurial drive. I don’t just design, I also build. I run two businesses: Studio 5teen, my design studio where I take on (footwear) design projects, and Studio Haering, a brand that turns textile waste into unique upcycled bags. I’m assertive, independent, and always looking for ways to turn ideas into action.

I love blending traditional design skills with new tools like AI and VR to create forward-thinking work. My curious mindset keeps me exploring and evolving, whether it’s through client work, side projects, or chasing the next big idea.
