At the intersection of design, technology, and behaviour, she works on themes such as circular design of products, and the application of circular plastics in circular products. She employs various design strategies that reduce the impact of products, optimise the use of materials, and also calculates this impact using Life Cycle Assessments. She involves students in her projects and gives lectures. Examples of projects include circular plastics in the hospitality industry on Terschelling, the application of litter in a climate-adaptive product, the processing and application of waste streams in the north of the Netherlands, and network formation with a view to the circular economy in the Northern Netherlands.

Since 2023, Judith has been a candidate in the pilot for the professor doctorate trajectory for the university of applied sciences of The Netherlands. In this role, she brings together her accumulated knowledge and experience to reflect on solutions for the problem of global plastic pollution. Her research focuses on nudging the behaviour regarding plastic use in the hospitality sector with the help of a circular product made from ocean plastic.
