Hello and thank you for visiting my site!
My name is Lizzy van Gelder and I am a recent graduate from the Design Academy Eindhoven.
We worked on both conceptual design and hands-on work and the projects were very broad and free.
This allowed us to find our own signature as a designer.
I especially enjoy working in Blender and Unreal Engine with the MoCap suit from Rokoko and have been improving my skillset in these programs for the past few years.
In my spare time, I like to work on both designing and realising costumes & props. I try to push the limit on what is possible to make some of my projects look even more magical and real. Through this hobby I have learned to work and experiment with different materials and techniques but also how to realise concept drawings.
What do I want to learn?
One of the things that I enjoy doing most is bringing my visions to life. It helps to have nice and clear (3D) sketches before starting the process. I would love to learn to sketch better, faster and clearer. Next to this, I would like to see other people's design process, from start to finish, to see how I could learn from their ways of thinking and working. And I would like to learn about different materials, their opportunities and how they can be used, so that I have a broader view on what is possible in the future.
Where do I see myself in the future?
I have always been inspired by film and tv. Creating stories, characters andd locations has been something I have enjoyed doing and still do. Where I see myself in the future is therefore in the film and series industry, working behind the scenes, help written down stories come to life.
