About

Hi, my name is Merlijn, a master's student in Integrated Product Design. I find energy in creating the most diverse range of products, concepts, and services. From medical devices, packaging, drones, programming and so much more. I have an affinity for digital technology, feasibility, sustainability, and realizing the full package from concept to production. In my free time, you can find me working on my passion projects. Realizing a large-scale event like the IO Festival, creating mesmerizing light installations or framing unique stage visuals, or simply organizing study trips, photographing, or exploring the world. For me, there is always something to create or experience, preferably both at the same time. w: www.merlijnhoekvandijke.com
