Projects & Work

I like to divide my work into two things: Projects, small (or large) things I do for fun and mostly for myself, and Work, for my own company or company’s that hire me.

Work

Current work

Fluxility Design

Fluxility is the company I started in 2005 together with Wouter Klein Heerenbrink. In three years we have made over a hundred websites and web applications for a very diverse customer base.

While originally focussing on making websites and webapps for customers, we are now expanding on working on our own projects. The website itself is featured in a number of CSS galleries and in the web design inspiration book.

Past work

Wakoopa

Wakoopa is for software what Last.fm is for music. As a front-end developer and interface designer I was responsible for major overhauls of almost every page.

I worked for Wakoopa from September 2008 to January 2010.

Properazzi (User experience design)

Properazzi is a worldwide property search engine. I designed a toned-down website layout with a lot of pleasing detail and solid information architecture. There are a lot of hidden considerations behind this website, since it needs to work in more than one language and for SEO the placement and naming of links was vital as well.

Properazzi was recently completely rebranded to Enormo by an external agency, and so the design I made is not online anymore.

Headline Interactive (Front-end development)

Headline interactive is a website I did the entire front- and backend development (but not the interaction design) for. It makes extensive use of CSS and jQuery to transform a standard html layout into an interactive, horizontally scrolling lightbox-upon-lightbox website.

The blog is fully Wordpress powered and the person changer on the homepage uses data from the Wordpress database. A lot of cool little bits of code went into building this site.

During my time at Headline Interactive I also developed a Wordpress blog for ING and did front-end development for Festival-classique.nl
