About me

Hi, I’m Oskar, an Industrial Design Engineering student based in Eindhoven. My journey into design began with repairing and rebuilding things out of necessity — from computers to bikes. Over time, this resourcefulness grew into a passion for creating products that are practical, repairable, and visually refined.


My background combines technical skills, visual design, and industry experience. Before studying design, I worked in computer repair and freelance media, where I developed a sharp eye for detail and problem-solving. For more than a decade, I’ve also been immersed in the cycling world as a rider, amateur racer, and mechanic. I’ve repaired bikes for clients, produced promotional media, and collaborated with brands such as Radon Bikes.


At TU/e, I’ve expanded my skills in CAD, sketching, user research, and manufacturing. I’ve worked hands-on with composites and bio-composites and gained experience with additive manufacturing through events like FormNext and JEC. This combination allows me to design products that balance form, usability, and production.

I believe sustainability is not only about material choice but about designing products that can be repaired and stay relevant longer. This perspective comes from years of keeping objects in use rather than replacing them.

My passion lies in cycling and transportation design, where performance, ergonomics, and aesthetics meet advanced engineering. With the cycling industry shifting, I am also expanding my focus toward automotive projects, applying my background in composites and aerodynamics to a broader mobility context.


My process begins with understanding user needs and context, then moves quickly into sketches and prototypes to explore form and function. I refine concepts through CAD and physical testing, always with repairability and production in mind.

I enjoy working in multidisciplinary teams, where design, engineering, and business perspectives come together. This ensures that my projects are creative while grounded in real-world viability.


At my core, I’m a maker — someone who enjoys tinkering, building, and improving. Whether I’m repairing a bike, experimenting with composites, or sketching out a concept, I bring curiosity and focus to every project. What sets me apart is the way I combine a repair mindset, industry experience, and attention to form into a design practice that is both practical and refined.
