About

🔫 Hired gun with a love for complex Interfaces 🖥️⌚️📱

👋 Hey. It's Lex. I spend most of my days thinking about the User Interface. How it looks. How it feels. How it behaves. When I'm not designing, you can probably find me in the studio creating beats or on the tatami practicing MMA.

Side Projects

2023

Explorations of iOS 17 Live Activities on homescreen with local Dutch brands / apps / weather conditions 😉

Some considerations:

Border radius is fixed now for presentation purposes, but IRL is flexible and scales, especially when live activity occupies more space on the upcoming 'Standby-mode' or animates into dynamic island.
Some of these wouldn't work IRL, because of the notch on dynamic island, like Thuisbezorgd - text overset in the middle? But Apple does show a Live activity with this setup in their presentation (3:15)
