Nienke and her Anger Affection

Tip: Let anger determine your career path and go work for IKEA, Douwe Egberts and Bo Weevil.

It’s the first Friday of the month so we hope you’re ready for the 9th episode of the Icarus Idea! This time your boys Joris and Jean are speaking with Nienke Kea. She’s an allrounder who’ll let anger and passion determine her career path. That’s why she already worked at IKEA, Douwe Egberts and this moment she’s working at Bo Weevil, a company that makes bags, aprons and more out of organic cotton (Ow, and did we already mention that she’s doing a study on the side as well?).

So Jean and Joris are talking about how to do all these things, what it is like to work at very big and very small companies and somehow we also talk about stickers that adjust your posture. Stick around to get a glimpse into the world of a professional Industrial Design Engineer.
