Eva Oosterlaken

I am a recent graduate from the MA/MSc Global Innovation Design at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London. I have a BSc in Industrial Design from the Delft University of Technology and previous work experience in digital design and visual communication design.

My design research approach combines systems thinking with participatory design methods, in order to understand complex issues from both a global and local perspective. To bring projects to life, I integrate skills in digital making, service design, and visual storytelling.

Interested in my work or have a project I could help with? Let’s have a (virtual) coffee.
