Personal | Pretbord! for HEMA

As I've already said in a previous post. I got nominated for the HEMA design competition, I can win a sum of money and on top of that it can be produced! In order to win, I need votes! So what's my design about?

PRETBORD (in Dutch it means funplate)
A plate for kids to eat their meal with veggies in a fun and creative way.
The mother can slice up the ingredients and the child can create their own artwork. Because the child engages with the food, they will become familiar with it and will most likely eat the food sooner.

You can vote for me here:

The voting ends 13 July

Don't forget to confirm the vote on your mail!
Thank you so much and wish my luck!

Personal | Educational shopping in Antwerp

I'm finally posting some photos I took of Antwerp. The excursion to Antwerp was a lot of fun yet a torture at the same time. We got to see some really cool stores u and I definitely will keep the walking route.. But we didn't got the opportunity to shop. I actually didn't really had the time to 'look' at the products, I was looking at the interior too much. Our assignment was to take pictures of things you want to focus on in the interior/retail design. I was focusing on 'lights', so I had a lot of boring pictures but there are some really cool stores in Antwerp that I have to take pictures of.

By the way, you wouldn't guess how many times people were asking us NOT to take pictures, because they were scared that you'd steal the design even if you explained them you're just a student. So when my friend and I left the main group and went on our own, we just pretended to be a stereotypical tourists from Asia with cameras and acted confused when they asked us not to take pictures.. I guess being Asian and all can come handy sometimes.

HAUL | Back to school/uni

A4 sketchbook 4euro, 14.8x22 sketchbook 3euro, Filemap 1euro, Stanleyknives 1euro, Highlight markers 2euro, 5x notebooks 3euro, Mini mechanical pencils 1euro, Nailpolish 2euro, Metal wire 1euro

So it's official.. Summer break is officially over and what better way to start this year fresh with some new school supplies? I found this new cute store in The Hague called 'Flying tiger'. It's a danish store for all kinds of stuff. They sell stationary, home stuff, makeup, bathroom stuff, games and so much more at a reasonable price. So it's definitely one of my favorite stores right now. I had to put a lot of stuff back into the shop because I had too many (unnecessary) things in my shopping basket.
You can check if there's a Flying tiger store near your home at tiger-stores.com or if you're from the Netherlands at flying-tiger.nl. You can check their assortment as well at the site as well.

If you've already been there, let me know what you think of it! And if you haven't, if you'd want to visit one.. I'd like to hear your comments about it.

PS.: So stupid of me, I didn't take a picture of the store outside.
