Academic Background
Lawyer, engineer, PhD, what the …, just call me Sicco.
I am fascinated by technology for people, innovations that help people move forward, in life, in health, in achieving goals. Currently my fascination is on the Aviation industry, design for Aviation! A whole industry that is oriented at moving people from A to B, or better from home to destination, of which flying is just a part of the journey, The Passenger Journey! Industrial designers can contribute a lot in this journey, imagine a smoother flow through the airport, a better connection between home and airport, a continuous experience from booking a trip to actually enjoying the trip and back, re-experience after you have come home. To connect to the inflight part of travelling, we have erected a cabin of an aircraft in the Applied Labs. Students can now test concepts or redesign parts of the inflight experience.
Next to that there are also crew journeys and luggage journeys to be studied. All of these subjects are part of my work in the aviation industry.
In my courses I always connect companies (and people!) to their customers and their suppliers. Usually, some 60 % of what is produced for customers is bought from suppliers. So that is why we have introduced supplier integrated design: if I know beforehand that 60 % of my design will (once produced) be bought from suppliers, why don’t I integrate the knowledge of suppliers already in the design? We get amazing results in doing that, quality goes up, price and risks go down.
As a side activity, I invest in start ups, helping students to realise their dream: owning their own company. Entrepreneurship is to me an important aspect of learning. If you stand out for yourself, you know what you are doing!
