As an Interaction Designer, I have just finished my Communication and Multimedia Design study at Hogeschool Rotterdam. During this very schooling, I placed my focus into design research, UX Design, usability and prototyping. I also attended the Co-Design Minor on at Hogeschool Utrecht, concentrating on collaborative design in close cooperation with target groups.
Next to my Hbo-education, I’ve been gathering additional experience with various media companies; Bite the Lemon and Cyso amongst others where I’ve been accountable for interaction design and visual design.
UX-Design gained my interest due to its nature of interactive collaboration with a target group. In order to better understand the wishes of your customer as far as the end product goes, social skills are a must.
During my thesis, I’ve worked independently and as a part of a team, using several research techniques including information architecture and persona development. The end product had further developed into the final visual product via wireframing and usability testing, amongst others.
