About Janny

I'm Janny Kamphof, an industrial product design student based in Groningen. I look beyond the product to examine the system around it: Why are things discarded? How can design prevent that? My projects—from rethinking the sneaker to an educational kit about flax—are exercises in this systems-thinking.

For my graduate internship, I want to apply this mindset to design products that are smarter from the start.
