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.

What I am most passionate about

GIRL SCOUTING / DISABLED SCOUTING

I've been a scout since the age of 7. Scouting taught me to be creative and to seek opportunities with possibilities within reach.

NATURE

Nature enables me to put things in perspective. It's an escape from everyday life, an endless space to clear my mind.
