Sylvie completed the Design Academy cum laude in 2008, and has since worked as a freelance designer with a specialization in product design and food concepts. Additionally, she built up the company Knol, with Celine de Waal Malefijt and Jorien Kemerink. They work on a wide range of projects, experimenting with food, technology and space.
She is fascinated by the rituals and traditions around objects and aims to create designs that have potential for everyday use, but are flavoured with a touch of unexpectedness. When designing, she is not only creating the product itself, but also the experience and the rituals that grow around them.
Sylvie lives and works in Eindhoven, The Netherlands
