Hi, I am Bram!
I am a passionate and driven innovation strategist. I advise executive clients on best practices for implementing innovation, help them to structure & de-risk the development process, and ultimately enable them to create new products, services, and business.
For my thesis at RSM, I researched an upcoming form of business incubation, the so-called startup studio.
During my studies I did many interesting projects. A small selection of projects I am proud of are showcased below. Please refer to my academic portfolio to see all my work.
Harmony explores new functionalities in the IoT home. A family of devices promotes social interactions and help users to collaboratively take care of the daily chores in the Smart Home.
First-hand research unveiled the problematic sitting behavior of elderly suffering from dementia. By applying a research-through-design method an adaptive seating system was designed. An active & healthy sitting posture vitalizes physical and mental health.
Design furniture for a luxury event market. A new inflatable material provides interesting opportunities for combining compact transport with premium aesthetics.
I believe that the best and most creative work is created when there is passion & fun at the heart of the project. It can make the most challenging tasks feel effortless. So what about a little music while reading on?
After my studies at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, where I developed a strong foundation in industrial product design, I decided to continue my studies with a master’s in industrial design.
