This means that you can approach me for projects where

  • you want to design technological artefacts together with people
  • you engage critically with technology
  • you address social issues in and around technology
  • you are interested in Graphic or Industrial Design
  • you want to explore or understand in-depth rather than measure or prove
  • you want to work with fiction
  • you want to build (physical) prototypes
  • you want to understand people’s experiences with technology
  • you are more interested in the humans/animals/plants than the technology

You can feel free to ask about other related topics or areas though!
