This was a college project done for the businesses Océ and BührmannUbbens.

Premise

In a time where the classic envelope and letter are dwindling in popularity, Océ and BührmannUbbens wanted to find new ways to innovate the written letter and to make snail mail a little more attractive to the public again.

Result

In a team of five people, we came up with a concept that allowed a letter to be supplemented by extra content that could be accessed digitally. Examples of this content would be videos, photos, gift cards and presents. This was the result of taking the angle that a letter is considered more classy and personal.

The concept ultimately wasn’t implemented, but it taught me a lot about research, concepting and ideation, as well as creating wireframes and prototypes and working in a team.

During a week long event, a concept was made for the Bonnefantenmuseum to increase their amount of visitors. A part of the concept included a live auction site with art made by visitors. I made wireframes and the HTML designs for this prototype, while three teammates worked on the visual design and other parts of the concept.

Prototype for front page of database

2013

Premise

In the project “Do New Things” (Nieuwe Dingen Doen), the goal is for students to gain practical experience working on a project at a company, while still having available expertise to help them achieve success with the project. Processes include ideation, research, concepting, prototyping and working in teams using the Dutch project development method known as Project Driven Creation.

I worked in a project team of five students for the company Kerckebosch Media, where a cross-media concept was developed. This concept was based around their need to communicate and provide information about their offering of offline events (e.g. organizing debates and readings).

Results

The main products ended up being:

  • a concept and prototype database of all information from all readings for their clients;
  • a prototype Drupal-based website that serves as a microsite for each of their offline events;
  • a Mailchimp newsletter system to inform their clients.

I have mainly contributed to the first and second ideas, developing wireframes, prototypes a functional design and documentation for the two websites.
