I've always loved the combination of creativity and technology, the space where the two meet and turn into something new. That's exactly what comes back in my studies: I came to Delft for Industrial Design Engineering because it sits right at that intersection. Outside of my studies, I wanted to explore that same interest further, which is how I came across Forze.

A group of students designing and building an actual hydrogen-powered race car is something that instantly captured my interestWorking towards a cleaner future while still building something this exciting is a combination I really believe in. I joined because I wanted to put my design background to real use. Running the brand and visual identity of a team like this is one part applying what you already have, and several parts figuring things out as you go. On top of that, being part of a project of this scale means getting a close look at how an organisation like this actually works from the inside out.

What I value just as much is the team itself. Working alongside people from all kinds of study backgrounds, all pointing in the same direction, changes how you approach a problem. Everyone brings a different angle, and that makes the work sharper.

This year, I will fulfill the role of Marketing & PR manager, making sure the mission of Forze is spread even further and also maintaining our brand image.
