Hey there,
Nice to meet you! My name is Lisa Kleisen. In March 2022 I graduated from the Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands. I followed the masters program Design for Interaction, which highly focuses on human centered design: Decision making and designing while prioritizing the user perspective.
I have always been interested in psychology, human behaviour and interactions between people. In my early adolescence an interest in sexuality and intimacy arose aside from this. It therefore shouldn’t surprise you that in 2016 I started my first job as an actual sex toy designer, alongside studying for my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design Engineering. From then on, doors kept opening and I have been able to develop myself into a self-proclaimed Intimacy Engineer.
On the road I have had the pleasure of gaining lots of experience in the field. I have read books, listened to and participated in podcasts, met a ton of different people who work in the field of sexuality and intimacy and built a solid network. Within my studies I have worked on multiple different projects on designing products for intimacy, and I will not stop doing that. The industry calls for female engineers, so here I am.
But, designing is only part of what I do. Over the past couple of years I discovered my passion for media and communication. Making YouTube videos for Pleasure Academy was a real eye opener, and taught me how I love being in front of a camera telling my story and educating people. Also I love writing, interviewing and being interviewed, exploring new places and experiences and learning by doing so. I have the ambition to develop these skills further in the future, and hope to find jobs that covers all these interests.
