Teaching and supervision at TU Delft connects directly to the research — students work on real problems, often in collaboration with industry, and their projects regularly result in publications, patents, and employment in the field.
Education & Supervision
TEACHING
Current courses at TU Delft's Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering:
Product Futures Design Studio — MSc course exploring the future of materials, products, and experiences. Course coordinator, lecturer, and coach.
Graduation Launchpad — Textile Systems topic supervisor and coach for MSc graduation projects.
MSc SUPERVISION
MSc graduation projects supervised by Holly sit at the intersection of textile systems, zero waste design, fabrication methods, and living materials — often developed in collaboration with industry partners including Diamond Denim, Zeeman, IKEA, and Lululemon.
Recent projects have resulted in conference publications, a provisional patent for a 3D knitting method, and graduates working at companies including Bugaboo, G-Star, and Weffan. Cum Laude awards have been received by multiple students.
If you are a TU Delft MSc student interested in working on textile-form systems and tools, or regenerative textile ecologies for your graduation project, please get in touch via the contact page with a brief description of your interests.
