Projects
Emil & Lucia's Plants
Hobby project, 2021In two lockdown weekends, I built a place to showcase the plants we have in our home. It's a website built with VueJS, which fetches data from Google Sheets and shows them in a Pinterest layout. When interested, it's possible to request a cutting (stekje) and it will send the request through Google forms.
Slimmer Dimmer
Graduation project, 2019During my graduation I created a smart dimmer that works for everyone. Enthusiasts have been developing smart homes for years, but their smart homes are not perfect and can be hard to understand. This dimmer combines smart behavior with traditional dimming, allowing anyone to be in control.
Dimmer onboarding
Graduation project, 2019This onboarding prototype introduces a smart home enthusiast to the Slimmer Dimmer. It has them configure the product and teaches the most important controls. This specific prototype had users understand the controls and behavior under a minute.
Smart Migrants Dispenser
Course result, 2018The dispenser was a result of the ITD course, which teaches rapid prototyping of experiences. This prototype conveys a future in which the government has initiated a mandatory integration program. It was made for exhibitions and was featured at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven and at Highlight in Delft. The machine was a strong tool for debate, exactly as designed.
Senseo Switch Redesign
Course result, 2018This was the result of a half year course UXAD, which teaches design evaluation. To provide an accurate evaluation of our final redesign, I built a working prototype. The prototype was wired onto the Senseo circuit board to allow for of our redesign to control the Senseo. Aside from prototyping I was involved with designing, testing and documenting.
