At (the) T at....

Daphne Menheere (31) from Accenture.

What does your organization do?

Accenture, Industry X Industrial Design, operates globally in the field of industrial design, with expertise in various disciplines. Our focus on designing physical products for the digital era aligns very well with the 'make-create-innovate' concept of Strijp-T.

"My life largely takes place in Strijp; I live, work, and exercise in this area, and every time I walked past Strijp-T and looked at the Innovation Powerhouse, I thought about how fantastic it would be to work here. It is so inspiring and industrial here, a completely different vibe than at the TU/e, where I used to work. I really enjoy being in the office, have a great job, and wonderful colleagues. For me, it's the perfect combination that you don't find everywhere!"

What is your role?

"Since the beginning of 2022, I have been responsible as 'Design Research Lead' for the research within the organization, where my goal is to align the design with the needs of the users."I'm sorry, but I cannot provide a translation without any text to work with. Please provide the text you would like me to translate into English.

"We regularly travel abroad to conduct research with actual end users, but I really enjoy being in Strijp. In addition, I also appreciate participating in community activities at Strijp-T, such as the rooftop concert and the tournament. And perhaps next year, I will search for Easter eggs in the Gloeilampplantsoen with my little one and the Easter Bunny."

"Strijp-T is a special part of the Strijp area in my opinion. I see this as the working area of Strijp with young trendy companies in an inspiring environment where it is nice to work and you can have a delicious lunch at the nearby Strijp-S. The abundance of greenery at Strijp." It also makes it attractive to walk your dog. The only thing I miss is a daycare in this area.

Who do you want us to invite next time to the party and why?

"EindhovenGym, because they have managed to build their own close-knit community of enthusiastic athletes, in addition to being active in sports. This way, you get to know a variety of people with a positive and open attitude as one of the common characteristics."
