My Expertise & Skills

Bavo Respens

Industrial & Sustainable Design Expert

As an industrial design engineer, I’m an innovative and creative thinker driven by a passion for learning, problem-solving, and shaping a meaningful future. My work bridges the physical and digital, blending sustainability and user-centric design with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced automation.

I’m fascinated by how innovation can transform not just products, but entire systems. Concepts like Sustainability by Design, Circular Economy, and System Thinking remain central to my approach, now complemented by growing expertise in AI-driven design, intelligent systems, and the future of human–machine interaction.

Whether prototyping tangible experiences or exploring generative tools and strategic innovative thinking, I’m constantly brimming with ideas—and love collaborating with others who are equally passionate about building a smarter, more sustainable world.
