Prototypes

I have a passion for bicycles, and I spend quite some time contemplating what gearing I should have on my bikes. While there are definitely existing, useful tools for comparing derailleur gear drivetrains, none I could find were as mobile- and user-friendly as I'd like – even including native mobile apps. So I decided to design and code my own from scratch. The goal was a straightforward, to-the-point little web app which is nice to use on a phone – with a target audience of bike geeks like myself. To build it, I used Bootstrap 5 and the small, powerful Alpine.js library.

As part of this blog post I proposed a redesign for a rather standard publicly available employee directory for finding contact info of specific individuals. The original design featured three independent dropdowns for filtering on employee by different attributes. In the blog post I discuss why the design has an inefficient interaction flow and I explore how the design can be improved by reorganizing and changing UI widgets. I created this interactive, responsive prototype using Vue.js JavaScript framework to illustrate my points.

This fully functional responsive prototype helps employees at KMD headquarters find their way to conference rooms – as an 'MVP' alternative to separate PDF ground plans buried deep inside the intranet. It's a collaboration between myself and a few UX colleagues of mine, in particular Jakob V. Christoffersen who had the original idea and contributed some of the maps and general input throughout the process. I programmed the prototype in HTML/CSS/JS and elaborated on the idea and added features such as search and deep-linking to individual conference rooms for easy sharing.

On my own initiative, I created this one-page prototype for the startup Vivera, which operates in the coaching/supervision business. The page is divided into multiple sections such as Services, About, Pricing and Contact.
I presented the design to the business owners, who liked many of my ideas.
The prototype is created using Harp static site generator and Bulma.io CSS framework.

Building upon the general idea and prototype work of a UX colleague of mine, I extended his work and created this prototype for locating conference/meeting rooms in my office building.
The maps are created as SVGs in Affinity Designer and the 'webapp' is created using the Zurb Foundation frontend framework and Panini flat file compiler.

When working within UX, there are a lot of tools, methods, pattern libraries and stuff to keep track of. The existing resource repositories didn't provide a to-the-point listing of resources, so I decided to create my own.
It is organized with a few general categories and a tag system. Users can suggest edits and additions via a simple FormSpree.io integration.

The original schedule of this music festival was good-looking yet somewhat cumbersome to navigate and get an overview of. So, in as an unsolicited exercise, how could the design be improved in terms of at-a-glance information and efficient navigation – especially on mobile.

The original version of this music festival schedule sported an inefficient dropdown navigation and 'dead ends' at the bottom of pages. Thus, I've tried to make a new version improving on those shortcomings.

Playing around with a bicycle manufacturer´s website, I crafted an unsolicited HTML prototype with improved information architecture and navigation design compared to the original design.
