Assembling the band
About
Apple Design Award winning digital product designer from The Netherlands. That's a whole mouth full. But what does that actually mean in my work with others?
I conceptualize and design, where human and device meet.
I guide clients and teams from idea, through concept, to award winning digital experiences and designs.
I approach each project as assembling a super band. Working with the right people for the job; developers, creatives and business devs. All play a vital role in the process.
With each project my own role may vary. From vision, to concept development and UI/UX design.
My super power and the most important asset during the whole process; I listen. I listen to all involved, create a bold vision and concept, resulting in amazing digital product experiences.
Work Experience
Together with a team of developers and artist we designed and built a unique spatial audio experience for iOS, winning an Apple Design Award in 2002, Odio provides an innovative escape from noise and distraction, offering elegantly composed spatial soundscapes..

Concept development and software design is still the name of the game, while attempting to run the company.
Concept development and software design was the name of the game.
Designing, developing and implementing online communities for organizations.
Went from designing and building websites to developing the first web apps en becoming a web and mobile software designer.
Projects
Together with Duux we designed and built their mobile experience and backend for their indoor climate IoT platform. Build from the ground up as a more flexible and sustainable alternative to their previous generation platform, they now have the foundation for years to come. Allowing effortless control of their devices as well as providing the means for a perfect indoor climate and energy insights.
The audio app Odio delivers incredibly lifelike ambient sounds — waterfalls, rushing rivers, lush electronic washes — made even more realistic with Spatial Audio and head tracking. Soundscapes can be customized by manipulating their mixes through a captivating circular interface, and each one is accompanied by futuristic fluid animations that unfold in perfect synchronicity with the sound. It’s a truly amplified take on the audiovisual experience.

Features
When designing soundscapes for apps and games, the right notes can make all the difference. And when those notes are built to support multichannel audio, they might even turn someone’s head. (Literally.)
Endel and Odio are just two of the many apps and games taking advantage of Spatial Audio. They use multichannel mixes, Core Audio, and AVFoundation to add texture and dimensionality, creating resonating surround-sound experiences that further immerse listeners into the world within their apps.
