Louise Schouwenberg studied psychology (Radboud University Nijmegen), sculpture (Gerrit Rietveld Academy Amsterdam), and philosophy (University of Amsterdam) – a variety of studies and practices that have turned her into an art and design theorist who links an understanding of the hands-on artistic process to a philosophical research of art and design practices.
Her main interest is the close relationship between people and things and the intriguing ways in which they mutually shape each other. She heads the MA design department Contextual Design at Design Academy Eindhoven (DAE). Apart from that, she writes on art and design and has incidentally curated exhibitions, for instance at museum Die Neue Sammlung in Munich in 2017 (together with designer Hella Jongerius).
