Wies van Lieshout founded Waterweg three years ago, the start-up develops climate-adaptive paving from dredged material. Wies was trained as an industrial designer, with a master’s degree in Design for Interaction. Wies was not born with a passion for the dredging waste stream, yet she is working on it every day. It is her, and Waterweg’s, mission to give value to something seemingly worthless. As a designer in a conservative dredging and construction industry, she makes people think by exposing assumptions, raising awareness and realizing beautiful everyday products.
