Me and my girlfriend set out to travel the world in September 2019. I developed a website to keep our family and friends up to date with our travel adventures. The project included developing a new graphic style and HTML/CSS and JS coding to appropriate existing Wordpress themes and plugins to our needs.

Self-initiated project, printed by Gildeprint I have had a great time designing my PhD thesis. I was looking for a graphic style that illustrates the complexity of IoT systems without feeling cluttered (a core theme in my PhD project). A second important theme in my work was that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. I […]
Dagboek van mijn Vader
‘Dagboek van mijn Vader’ is a touching story about my grandfather, a young watchmaker during the second World War in my hometown Helmond. When my father retired, he finally had time to read my grandfather’s diary that he kept during WWII. The notes and stories in the dairy were insightful, funny and touching. That is why Louis decided to write it up in the book and share the stories with the rest of the Netherlands.
We designed and deployed two lighting control interface in a real-life office equipped with a state-of-the-art lighting system of 400+ luminaires. We evaluated their experience with the lighting system and the lighting control interfaces. In ten weeks, 43 office workers interacted with the system 3937 times.
Atlas Lighting Living Lab
The Atlas Living Lab is the largest indoor livinglab in Europe. The main building of the Eindhoven University of Technology is dedicated to research intro sustainability and healthy buildings. An important element is the IP-based lighting infrastructure and the possibility to override standard behaviour for research purposes.
Three user interfaces for lighting control in a shared office: The Floorplan (a smartphone application), Pointer (a tangible-gestural interface on every table), and Canvas (a tangible interface central in the space).

The client for this project owns a recreational holiday house in Austria. They wanted a simple website to promote their property and to increase visibility online.
OpenAIS: Layered Value Method
The Layered Value Method (LVM) is a novel method to facilitate systemic impact analysis and joint value creation for IoT building systems. It originates from a reassessment study of the initially expected IoT impact after the completion of the OpenAIS project.
This work aims to deepen the understanding of the effects that interface characteristics can have on how people experience lighting control in a shared space. To do so, we design three interfaces for a shared lighting system that vary in the type of social information they allow people to share with others and in their overall interaction style.
OpenAIS @ GLOW 2017
For the GLOW light festival in 2017, I designed and realised a light show with the OpenAIS pilot installation in the Witte Dame. The goal for the project was to showcase the speed, accuracy and synchronicity of the IoT lighting system.
