	Têra Kaîa

As a soft goods designer at Têra Kaîa, I helped design and bring  several pieces of outdoor performance wear into production.

My responsibilities included patternmaking, in-house prototyping, designing tech packs, material sourcing, organizing fit and wear tests, product and trend research, coordinating the product development ecosystem, and communication with the factory.In addition to developing these products from start to production, I worked on older  Têra Kaîa&#38;nbsp;products to improve fit, colorways, or redesign.

At Eindhoven Univeristy of Technology, I worked on several wearable technology projects.


Project: Posture-Correcting WearableThe design of textile sensors for the aestetic integration of posture-correcting technology.&#60;img width="3011" height="1692" width_o="3011" height_o="1692" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/584d8ea3981d74bf4ccae8145776fb35cf0f5ae62db9995724443fbd2d7d5e3a/klerenmaken-de-man.jpg" data-mid="221362189" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/584d8ea3981d74bf4ccae8145776fb35cf0f5ae62db9995724443fbd2d7d5e3a/klerenmaken-de-man.jpg" /&#62;



	I designed wearables that help maintain good posture by nudging the wearer when they slouch, leading to improved posture. This ultimately boosts confidence and enhances overall well-being.
In this project, there was a strong fucus on the fashionable integration of electronics into the design of the outer garment. I designed textile sensors that decorate the garment and its wearer, while measuring their stance.

Project: Social SkinA design research project exploring emotional messaging through garments.&#60;img width="3981" height="2520" width_o="3981" height_o="2520" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/364c1892b2f9b608d38a233c285671c0a7f86bec5818bb1655204b0929a3fcd4/SKIN-BONE.jpg" data-mid="251068307" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/364c1892b2f9b608d38a233c285671c0a7f86bec5818bb1655204b0929a3fcd4/SKIN-BONE.jpg" /&#62;


	Measuring the wearers emotional arousal via HRV and prespiration sensors, the actuators in the garment communicate the wearers inner state through their garments.
Together with
Secil Ugur, I created three prototypes: a holster, a necklace, and a brooch, that measure the emotional arousal from the human body and
communicate it through movement patterns in the wearables. For example, in of the necklace, when stress is rising, the necklace crawls up toward the wearer’s neck, and affords the wearer to pull it loose again. This interaction helps releave stress.
 
Several studies were conducted to understand how on-body dynamic garments 
communicate with the wearers surroundings.

Find the full research paper here.

Rubber Room
As cobbler apprentice at the Rubber Room in Bishop, California, I learned the craft of resoling and repairing climbing shoes. It is specialized hand work, and as a climber myself, I could relate to the requirements for athletic performance gained by a well-crafted shoe.
The process of resoling climbing shoes begins by removing the worn soles. If needed, the leather inner shoe is repaired by sewing it back together. This is followed by sole and rand patternmaking, cutting and sanding rubber in the exact shape for application, prepairing and glueing the rubber, and finish-sanding the new soles into the right shape for performace climbing.
Skills: Detailed handwork, time management (as the preparation for gluing must be precise to create a strong bond), material understanding,&#38;nbsp; and manipulation.

	work&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; about Amsterdam Fashion InstituteAt the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, I worked on several research projects aimed at creating a more sutainable fashion system.

Research Report: Measuring The Dutch Clothing MountainA report about the number of clothing items used and discarded per capita in the Netherlands.



	We created this publication to make the data readily available and understandable for professionals in the fashion industry, while also raising awareness about the volume of clothing we consume and what becomes of our used items.I contributes to the data collection and visualization.Find the full report here.

Project: Sustainable Fashion ProductionA research project on sustainable fashion production methods.

	In collaboration with fashion designer Karin Vlug, I developed a production method for personalized fashion items aimed at reducing overproduction
and minimizing the amount of hand work in the fashion system.
In this process, the garment design is adjusted to the wearers exact size using a 3D bodyscan. The flexible
mould system is then set to the specific dimensions of the personalized design, and the garment is produced directly in a three-dimensional shape using a nonwoven textile.

 Class: Fashion Interaction Design

	For the Amsterdam Fashion Institute I developed a class called Fashion Interaction Design.&#38;nbsp;Within the minor textiles, I collaborated with educators in concept and textile design to create an integrated design process that addresses both the functionality and the aestetics of a ‘smart’ garment.

The asignment was to design a wearable interaction between the garment and the wearer. 
One of the outcomes is ‘neurotic control’ by student Debbie van Dam.

See concept video here.

	 Cool Suit is one of the prototypes made in the RTD Smart garments for thermal control of the human body project I worked on together
with the TU Delft. 
This rowing suit is made to test the integration of the cooling elements on the body and on the water.
