Kirstie van Noort
Kirstie van Noort graduated in 2011 from the Design Academy Eindhoven, Department of Man and Well-Being. She has been running her own research and design studio in Eindhoven since 2012.
In 2012 she received the Material Award for her design research in Cornwall regarding the production process of kaolin/white porcelain. She participated in many exhibitions and gave lectures worldwide in which she explained her way of working. In 2014 she completed a two-month artist-in-residency in Japan where she conducted research into local porcelain production.
Kirstie is currently working with companies as a (material) researcher. She sees Design as a way to communicate a specific process or the story behind a material. When she becomes integrated by either, she starts a detailed investigation. The results of this communicate the concept behind the final product, and sometimes the research itself becomes the final work.
