A former graduate of the school, Tet studied alongside Hella Jongerius and Jurgen Bey, and her final project, an inflatable bathtub, was later included as part of Droog Design. Today she oversees the public role of the Academy, the securing of private funding, and the coordination of national and international exhibitions.
