Rutger is busy with the third year of the bachelor industrial design, from Eindhoven University of Technology. For his B3.1 he decided to go on an exchange to the University of Tsukuba, as he wanted to develop further in the area of arts. Here he got into contact with Leelab and Kansei Design.

Rutger has mostly focused his studies on playful learning and other playful interactions, where he used his interests in 3D modelling and coding to help create various games and experiences to help improve challenging tasks.
