Immersing myself
About
I conceptualize and design,
where human and digital device meet.
I guide client and team from idea, through concept, to award winning digital designs and experiences.
Usually accomplished in three months.
Work Experience
A team of developers and artist designing and building unique audio and visual experiences for the Apple ecosystem.
Our main project is Odio.
Winning an Apple Design Award in 2022, Odio provides an innovative escape from noise and distraction, offering elegantly composed and customizable spatial soundscapes.
Odio on Apple Vision Pro provides a unique way of customizing your spatial computing soundscape by placing Odio ornaments in your environment.
I work with clients, designers, developers and artists to create beautiful digital experiences. From IoT to immersive experiences, from art installations to data management.
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
In collaboration with Apple and an amazing team, we have created a unique Spatial Audio experience for Apple's new ecosystem.
With Odio for visionOS, you can create your own spatial soundscape within your visionOS environment. Using unique ornaments, each with its own composed mini soundscape, you can create your ambient sound ensemble for an optimal spatial computing session.
The Apple Design Award-winning iOS app is still in development. We are adding a new Composer mode that allows the listener to become a composer. Users can import and arrange their sound files within a Spatial Audio playground. This work can then be shared with other listeners, and we may even choose to include it in our catalog.
For the Rebelbass foundation, in collaboration with Albert van Abbe, I am creating an immersive Spatial Audio experience. In memory of Lady Aïda, a labyrinth has been created in the Philips de Jongh park.
An app is in development for this labyrinth, providing a spatial soundscape during the walk, exclusively composed for the labyrinth. The soundscape follows the walk, and with Apple hardware (AirPods Pro or Max), it feels as if the sound is coming from certain locations inside and outside the labyrinth.
Odio for Apple Vision Pro is a completely re-imagined audio visual experience for spatial computing. It enables users to enrich their environment with Odio spatial audio ornaments, emitters of rich spatial audio soundscapes.
Each Odio ornament is a focal point for an immersive auditory experience, creating a personal aura of sound that complements and enhances the user’s environment. Whether for relaxation, focus or simply enjoyment of a unique auditory backdrop, these ornaments bring a new level of customization to personal spaces.
Crafted exclusively for Apple Vision Pro, soundscapes comes alive with exquisite visuals by HyperCulture, providing a harmonious audio visual blend.
Soundscapes seamlessly adapt to the user's surroundings, ensuring a natural and lifelike audio experience, thanks to Apple Vision Pro’s cutting-edge ray-tracing audio technology.
Odio for visionOS offers a unique and enriching experience. It's more than an app – it's a journey into a world where sound is an integral part of the sensory environment.

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.
The Apple Design Awards honors excellence in innovation, ingenuity, and technical achievement in app and game design. Our award-winning designers take thoughtful and creative approaches to their apps and games, giving people new ways to work, play, or imagine things that were never before possible.
To celebrate our 2022 Apple Design Award-winning apps and games, we've put together a series of interviews with their creators. Starting June 27, go behind the design and learn about our winners' creative process, challenges, and how they brought their bold and distinctive ideas to life.
