Studio Leftover is my ongoing side project dedicated to material reuse and urban upcycling. I cycle through the city with my cargo bike to collect discarded materials with potential for reuse, and I also visit second-hand shops to find incomplete or obsolete products to repurpose. Through this hands-on approach, I transform overlooked waste into new design opportunities. (More images and documentation will follow.)

Together with Maas Goudswaard and Julie Heij I designed an interactive material experience artefact named TESSI. TESSI is a shape-shifting origami fabric that embodies a ‘breaking and unbreaking’ transformation through a pleaded tessellation pattern. With this transformation we conceptualised the temporal form of TESSI. TESSI’s materiality and behaviour came about through a highly intuitive material orientated process with a special focus on designing for expressive interaction.
