Hello, I'm Maud Gruyters
I am a second-year master's student at the University of Antwerp.
However, what’s in a name?
​
I like to describe myself as a pissed-off optimist. I’m confronted by the complex problems and injustice in the world around me, however, I am convinced that an inclusive and righteous future is around the corner. I’m an independent and curious person that is intrigued by today’s society. I have a very high value attached to what society is comprised of such as ethics, history, and culture. This passion is the origin of my urge to solve problems and the reason I chose to study product development.
​
As a designer, I aspire to be responsible and conscious of my environment. I believe in the statement that you can’t rise if you take more from the community than you put back.
Pronouns: she/her
