My name is Jeroen Stoot, 22 years old and currently living in Enschede, the Netherlands. I've studied BSc Industrial Design at the University of Twente and am now in the master program Industrial Design Engineering, specialization Human Technology Relations at the University of Twente. My professional interests are in multisensory design (design focused on multiple senses), design for interaction and design for behavior change.

​

Vision

I think that humanity is always the most important thing and that design should contribute to us allowing to feel human again. I like to work with warm and natural elements, shapes and materials and prioritize the overall experience of the design over purely appearance or functionality. My ideal working environment would be a place where sensation and user experience are considered core values and where I can continue to grow and learn as designer in the domain of human-centered design and related domains.

​

Motivation

From a young age I have always been interested in how we as humans experience the world and everything around us and have always been thinking about new ways to improve our quality of life, rather than making everything simply easier for users. Furthermore I always loved to get creative with things like music and creations. The program Industrial Design allowed me to combine my artistic side with my technical side. As a designer, I developed a strong sense of the relation between products and persons and learned to easily adjust my design process to every new project. Over the years I predominantly specialized in how design can be optimized for the best user experience in multiple ways. This interest can be found in every design project.
