My goal is to make the world a little better through design that is created through diversity, equity and inclusion, design justice is one of the most important tools I use.
My Story
I’m Anouk Noordeloos, 27 years old and originally from a village in Noord-Holland in The Netherlands. I’ve always been creative but when I started my study Industrial Design Engineering at The University Twente I really found there’s so much I can do with this creativity. Motivated, creative, eager to learn and proactive are words that describe me well. I work great in teams but I’m also really enjoy independent work. During my Bachelor and Master at the University of Twente I did quite some interesting projects and this left me wanting more! Soon I will graduate and I’m looking for a job. If you want to see some of the projects I did in the past, take a look at my portfolio. If you have any questions or want to get in touch with me please leave your message on the contact page.

TA project Designing for Specific Users · Universiteit Twente · Enschede
Before the course started, I was working on setting up the canvas page and creating project groups. When the project started I supported bachelor students during lectures and workshops, I also gave a workshop about expectation management. I also organized the project market together with the other TA’s. I gave feedback during mid-terms, I was in contact with the assessing teachers and internal and external experts and used this to take into account availability off all when schedule the project exams.
