Teaching digital accessibility through an online game

Project

As part of an internship at Stichting Accessiblity I designed and developed an online game that raises awareness by letting the player experience what it's like to have a disability when using the internet.

Together with experience experts, I iteratively designed levels that represent different disabilities.

As part of audio collective Thinking in Sound, we made a sound installation that allows children ages 6 and under to make music in a way that is accessible to them.
The installation was presented on festivals in Haarlem and Bloemendaal

Together with Wayfinding institute MijksWise and blind organisation Visio, we did a qualitive user test with people of different visual disabilities.

We had each participant walk a route and draw their mental-map afterwards, we used this data to understand how visually impaired people "see" the world.

I organised the tests and together with a team, ran the tests and analysed the data.

Case study coming soon...

piece of paper with loads of sketches on it

For my bachelor graduation thesis I researched different methods for structuring and documenting ideation sessions. With the goal of being able to generate and explore a lot of ideas in a short period of time.

The thesis was graded with a perfect 10/10 😎

Designing a voice-first shopping experience

Project
Read more

During my UX minor, me, a group of students and Visio designed a prototype of an online shopping experience that is entirely controlled using your voice.

We brainstormed ideas tested with blind- and sighted people using several different protyping tools.

The ideas and findings were delivered as a pitch(deck) and a guide on how to structure voice interactions.
