Research focus, project topics I like to coach
“Aesthetics of Intelligence, Speculative/Critical Design, any project that explores, or doesn’t even fit the borders of Industrial Design.”
Coaching style
“Learn from each other. Critical, yet caring. Explore the unknown together. You on the takeoff, we fly together, explore the stars, and I will make sure you land.”

Armando Rodriguez Perez (FBP): Zero
Bart Bolluijt: Des-FI
Alex de Kruijff: Ludic Intelligence
Melvin Sterk: Design by not understanding identities
