My organisation

Happybots implements robot-technology into daily life. We are focussed on vulnarable people who can use some support. We launched our first social robot Felix for people who find it hard to express or understand their feelings. Felix connects people. Happybots is an organisation that is happiness-driven and not profit-driven.

About me

I am a product and interaction designer, conceptual thinker and a science enthusiast. After I graduated at the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2015 I've been doing a combination of self initiated projects and projects for clients. One of these projects was to good to end. So together with Rob van de Ven I started Happybots, we make social robots for healthcare and education. I like to make products and objects to play, learn and discover. I am driven by curiosity. I have a telescope and an internet connection, so whatever is out there, I can find it!
