Design to Market – Talent Program. Over the coming weeks, Dutch Design Daily will be introducing the participants of 2025, today Laura Papke.

Laura Papke is an interdisciplinary designer and artistic researcher from Eindhoven. In 2022, she founded Studio Papke, through which she creates experiences that promote collective spiritual well-being.

Her work includes participatory performances, installations, and workshops. After completing her master’s degree in Social Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven, she developed Sonic Driving, a performance in which participants hear and feel their heartbeats, connecting them with themselves and others. This has been presented at leading festivals and exhibitions in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. 

Laura explores the role of sound, technology, and biofeedback in redesigning rituals for well-being in a technological world. She hopes to further integrate her concepts for collective well-being into club culture through the healing power of rhythm and synchronization.
