I’m a translater between humans & machines
I’ve collaborated on TFT UI projects alongside the internal UI team, overseeing the integration of industrial design with the digital world. This involved managing workflows, exploring various user interaction possibilities, and incorporating user test results into the iterative design process.
Non- Digital User Interfaces
Haptic buttons may seem ‘old school’ on a machine, but they remain one of the simplest and most effective user interfaces. They offer clear, straightforward controls that make operating the machine intuitive, as they are familiar and widely understood. This ensures that most users can operate the device effectively without requiring extensive instructions.
I firmly believe that a key aspect of user experience is considering not just my own preferences, but also how the majority of users prefer to interact with the machine.
Digital User Interfaces
As an industrial designer, crafting user interfaces is about making experiences intuitive and seamless. Simplicity is key, with clean layouts and clear cues that guide the user effortlessly. The goal is to create an interface that enhances the product and feels natural to use.
TFT
Designing digital screens needs attention to touch interactions (which are modern yet come with certain drawbacks), resolution, and a clear understanding of workflows (what happens when you click ‘here’).
I believe it’s crucial to make UI elements intuitive and easy to interact with, not just for the end user, but also for the team working on the project.
Workflows
I love to maintain an overview of the entire project and ensure a very clear workflow. I think it’s paramount to stick to certain principles when considering “what happens when you click here.”
User friendly, simple, easy intuitive, not overloaded
