design companies, and during my work
as a freelancer in animation and exhibit
design. I hope this variety in these fields
makes you curious on what I can offer
you.

phases, storyboarding and designing for

of computer animations and movies, and also
prototyping for testing the new concepts with
the user-group.
1|3|1 Main qualities
During my work at other design agencies
I worked in the field of experience design,
exhibition design for museums, retail concepts
and created educational concepts. My focus
and qualities lay on several fields. These are

supersonic, and hypersonic flight by powered, heavier-than-air jets.
Aerospace engineering is the primary branch of engineering concerned
with the research, design, development, construction, testing, science
and technology of aircraft and spacecraft. It is divided into two major
and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical
engineering. Aeronautics deals with aircraft that operate in Earth's
atmosphere, and astronautics deals with spacecraft that operate
outside the Earth's atmosphere. Aerospace engineering deals with the
design, construction, and study of the science behind the forces and
physical properties of aircraft, rockets, flying craft, and spacecraft. The
field also covers their aerodynamic characteristics and behaviors,
airfoil, control surfaces, lift, drag, and other properties.

a process of working towards a final product.
From the starting point of making concepts for
user experience to analysing/digitalising the
location. Following up is the storyboarding
and setting up experience paths through the
location.

This page contains the starting point of a
project. Early stage design sketches with
different purposes dealing with the questions
coming up in the first stages of concept
development.. Some sketches serve the

analysis which may alter the concepts.

analysed and digitalized. Following up

This page shows only a short amount of
the huge pile of exhibits and pavilions I
designed as an experience designer. All
are exhibits for science centers, therefore
the educational aspect has a huge priority

between different exhibits and cutting in

input of this process.
2|4|1 Improving by detailing
To secure the design intent is achieved at
the end of the process, detailing the con-
cepts were a big part of my job as a de-
signer. This included detail drawings, ma-
terialization, but also looking for similarities

Visualizing what visitors will be experienc-

ing job. Weather such a visual is used in
the early stage of the process or at the
end, key is to comunicate with all parties

short the most striking animations I created
with Nerds ‘n Squares. This animating skill I
also use in my profession as an experience
designer when creating content.

I am part of the animation studio called
Nerds ‘n Squares. We make animations
which explain technical principles or a
product’s functionality with a humoristic
touch. Most of these animations are
