Generative Title Slide

Motion Explainer, Personalized Search

UX Research, Motion Design, Interaction Design

A motion-driven entry point that replaces search. Data points follow the cursor and gather into a set shaped by the user's role, so the system does the gathering while the user does the choosing.

MoneLL, Cosmetic Brand

Line 0, Speculative Metro

3D Design, Motion Design, Spatial Design

A speculative metro environment where space is given on invisible terms, made for my graduation show at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. Personal space is shaped by gender, identity, financial status and more, yet on public transport it is handed out by size and appearance.

Bodiless Spacing, Thesis

Editorial Design, Book Design, Writing

A thesis that asks how personal space can be materialized, through experiments in physical and digital space. In the book's design, the distancing between letters, lines and elements gives the static page a sense of motion, so the book performs the distance it describes.

Selected for Matter Does Matter
