initiator
Dutch circular design consultant, Rianne Koens initiated Rethink Softly in June 2022. After 10 years of product design and production she decided to stop designing any other product until systems become circular. In order to make this happen she opened up her network from both the Europe and Turkey and sees for the best matches to connect innovation and industry.
