Dutch designer Cindy graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1999 and works as an independent contextual designer in the field of Trend, Concept & Design. Her work breathes a certain sense of idealism: 'my strong believe is that prejudice is caused by a lack of information and interest. As a designer I think I can trigger the interest of others through my projects and give information people otherwise might not be interested in. This way I can add to a better world and that's what I think my duty, as a contextual designer should be'. Projects are realised independently or in co-operation with other (creative) parties where different disciplines are represented. Cindy works both on assignment as well as on her own initiative. She has designed a line of sportscaps (www.capsters.com), which won a Good Design Award 2002 and published a book about veiling. Together with some other parties (TU Delft, TNO, Electrolux and P&G) she worked on the realisation of her concept of the Wash-in, a sustainable laundry-service.

As a young student, Nakamura came across an exhibition of Isson Tanaka- a Japanese painter whose works never received any public recognition during his lifetime. The experience left such an impact on her that she was inspired to choose her current profession so that she can help ƒ„put the spotlight on the unsung heroes'. Since she joined NHK in 1996, she has been in charge of the organization of exhibitions, events related to education and welfare as well as conducting public surveys. Amongst them are exhibitions featuring the collaboration between artists and painters with physical disabilities.
