ABOUT ME
The bigger the challenge, the more motivated I am!
My name is Sam and I am a third year student at the TU Delft. I study Industrial Design Engineering which I really enjoy because of its great diversity. Every time this career keeps surprising me: design is literally everywhere around us and it is amazing to be a part of that! My main interests are Design for Sustainability and Design for Social Innovation, because I hope my future projects will be meaningful to the world around me. This way I can express my involvement in the society. Because of being goal orientated I make sure that I, together with my team members, work efficiently and deliver good results. I set high standards for the work I deliver and try get the most out of the projects I do. The bigger the challenge, the more motivated I am.

We wanted to help parents teach their children when it is time to wake up and when to go to bed.
ASSIGNMENTWe were asked to design a new product concept for the company ̈ Invented 4 Kids¨ which designs innovative products for parents with young children. We had to define our own design goal, the one we came up with was: We wanted to help parents teach their children when it is time to wake up and when to go to bed.
DESIGN VISIONBesides a design goal we also used a vision based on market research, our vision was: We want to give parents the possibility to have moments alone with their children where they only pay attention to each other (quality time).
CONCEPTAfter a long idea generation we used one of my ideas. As you can see in the images above it is a hour glass that represents day and night: the sun and the moon. The hour glass is used in the sleeping rooms of the children as an indication of time. When it is night, you turn the hour glass so that the sun is above and the moon down. The moon gets more and more filled with sand. At the end of the night; when it is time to wake up, the sun is visible. And in reverse during day. We made a simplified model, because in the real concept the parents are able to adjust the time and reset the hour glass. The hour glass can only be turned when the child and parent pull the handles at the same time.

We designed a platform that connects the farmers with the vendors and which forms a new community.
ASSIGNMENTIn this project we were asked to enhance the buying experience in high frequency stores between the store owner, the customer and the distributor, aiming a sustainability boost for the high frequency stores. The high frequency stores play an important role in Colombia, mostly for the lower sectors. But the last couple of year the high frequency stores are threatened by the large supermarkets.
DESIGN GOALThe first week of the project we spent doing research, we have visited a lot of high frequency stored and explored the distribution channel. Convey the message of freshness and better quality in high frequency stores.
CONCEPTOur idea was to make the fresh and good food available to the largest group of people in Colombia; the Bottom of the Pyramid. We wanted simple to connect the supply and demand. The food is sold with less profit per customer but to a large group. We designed a platform that connects the farmers with the vendors and which forms a new community. Physically, this is recognizable for the buyers of the products, mainly by stickers and posters. Customers can see if a high frequency store is connected with the platform and will trust the freshness of the products.

The goal was to redesign this patent into a successful, modern product.
ASSIGNMENTThe starting point of this project was the received patent of a wooden hand washing machine. The goal was to redesign this patent into a successful, modern product.
DESIGN GOALWe chose to design for HEMA, a warehouse in the Netherlands. Through patent analysis, market research, brand analysis, form study and mechanical research we came up with a new concept. The machine has a helix shaped swing that can be moved over the diameter by a slit in the lid. The half cover can be turned around the border of the tub so that every place can be reached.
CONCEPTThis project was mainly about Detail Design, we had to define the exact production methods, materials and costs of each part. I focused on the swing arm that moves the water inside the tub. The arm has a helix shape, therefore I did a lot of research on producing plastic helixes. I had contact with injection molding companies and mold designers. I learned a lot about the production of plastic objects. We also had to take into account the assembly which was a very complicated task, all team members had to coordinate with each other.
