testimonials

I got to know Don during his graduation as a passionate and skilled designer. He is a hard worker and excels at visualizing his ideas through sketches, CAD, and 3D printing. Although he sometimes found it difficult to let go of an idea, he has grown in this regard. What he achieved in a short time and how he presented it commands nothing but respect.

Elwin Rath

Senior Development Engineer at Delft Dynamics

During his education in industrial product design, don had shown to be a most talented and motivated designer, setting himself apart both in engineering and more conceptual design challenges.

Sven van Westreenen

Owner at designstudio Westreenen Design & consultancy / Lecturer at THUAS

Don is a highly motivated and energetic product designer with an eye for detail. While having his internship with us at MMID he was already operating as one of the regular design employees.

Maaike Zonnenberg-sprangers

Project Manager at Product design agency MMID

I worked with Don on several projects. I would describe Don as: engaging and pro-active, motivated to pick up new things, able to deep dive into topics, and not easily scared by a challenge.
