_about Dutch Design Week 2025
Dutch Design Week celebrates a quarter century of shaping the future. Under the theme ‘Past. Present. Possible.’, DDW reflects on its legacy, showcases today’s creative energy, and explores what design can become. A platform where ideas connect, possibilities open, and the future is designed together.
_about Our Future Is Somewhere Here
What a great coincidence to have a project researching the connection between past, present, and future at DDW's 25th edition, dedicated to the topics of "Past. Present. Possible"?! I am so grateful to be part of this year's event and to present my project at the Eindhoven Library. I see it as a great fit, and the team at the library was super welcoming and supportive.
