A case study on reinventing a micro event site — The Salon du Livre et de la Presse Jeunese is an annual event that takes place just next to Paris. It’s the event in the industry in France and very well known amongst the in-crowd. …

In a stage where we all follow hundreds if not thousands accounts, maybe it is time to create some organisation in the chaos of following? — It’s been a while since Instagram has been growing. Does this mean it’s heading into the same direction as Facebook, meaning: many people out there but fainting creativity and interaction? It sometimes already feels like that, as within the 700 or so people that I’m following it always seems to…

If there is one topic that marks our time, I guess it’s the future of our planet and our influence as consumers on it. At least, when I meet with friends, hardly ever a dinner passes by where we will not at some point discuss the ecological impact of what…

Amongst the many impressionist museums in Paris, it’s the Orangerie museum where you can find Monet’s famous Nymphéas. The oval spaces in the heart of Paris attracts visitors from all over the world. How can we offer them a better experience? This is a case-studay about finding playful digital solution for visitors of any nationality or background. — The Musée de l’Orangerie is a small museum with happy visitors. Yet the experience is not the same for a Korean who visits Paris for the first time, compared the the Parisian lady that comes to see the exhibitions en passant. Cultural references are not necessarily alike, and Parisian museums…

Digital experiences are always in a way linked to a physical context, but I find public spaces with digital tools particularly interesting. They reach a lot of people and the digital product becomes a prominent actor in a physical space. In this UX review of post-stamp machines resulted in a redesign of the entire post office, rather than only the machine itself. — Field research in a busy Parisian post office Machines like a post-stamp automat are there to help the user save time, I suppose — as well as saving employee costs on simple tasks. And admittedly, they can be quite a relief when you walk into a post office and see a…

A case study based on solo travellers In my first usability & redesign mission for the Ironhack UX/UI programme, we were asked to audit a travel application or website. I decided to focus on young, solo travellers. Then I did a benchmark study on several travel apps/sites and chose the one that I found most suitable for…

What are your 3 best and worst design experiences? This is a question I have to answer for my UX/UI course. Yes, I am only trying to be come an interface designer, but if you think of it UX can be applied practically anywhere. …

This is a report of my first exploration of the UI design tool Sketch. The goal was to reconstruct five or more pages from one of our favorite apps. Although this seems quite basic it really made me familiarize with the many details UI designers need to make choices in. I chose to copy several screens from Pinterest. — I use Pinterest mostly for illustration work. Either just for myself or for clients, it is very handy to use their mood boards to get a clear idea of what we want. Also, I can spend quite some time just letting myself be inspired.

UrbanGo is a transport planification tool that enables users to calculate their trip from one point to another. It provides maps, time and cost estimations for both public and private transport companies. On my first design thinking mission I had to think of a new feature that would allow users to also pay their transport on the app. Here is what I came up with. — Any traveler knows it can be a pain in the otherwise exciting experience of arriving in a new city: you want to get to your destination and discover the city quickly, but yet you first have to buy a ticket, somewhere, either from a vending machine with a strange interface…
