The bigger projects most of the time added to all competencies but I highlighted my biggest learnings, if you want to read more about them click the pictures of those.

Business and Entrepreneurship

At the beginning of my bachelor's, I was quite underdeveloped in this area after I got basic skills in business models, value propositions, and customer journeys for product design. I learned that even though I won't be a product designer these techniques can give me insight on how to create value and have an impact. This resulted in me being able to validate business models outside the domain of product design. My extracurricular activities gave me an entrepreneurial mindset that resulted in the designer I am today.

Course: Design Innovation Methods

Made me think in a totally different way about the products I designed. I learned how to revisit business models, how to make value propositions, and how to apply the Get-Keep-Grow method. It made me realize that applying these theories is not only about money but also about creating value for your users.

Project 1: F'leau

This was a product that had possibilities for further development. For the first time I used business models and we looked into the added value it had to related products.
