This online publication is produced by Dutch Design Foundations Co/Lab: Coalition for Safety. It shows how a design led, human centered approach helps tackle complex safety challenges. Explore 40+ issues, projects, makers and methods. And see how people across policy, design and practice turn ideas into results. My contribution focused on motion: defining interface animation principles and creating promo animations for the launch at Dutch Design Week.

Rock a Rail is street-style ski- and snowboarding event that invites the world's best riders to trick down sets of rails across three locations in Europe: Thun (CH), Innsbruck (DE), and The Hague (NL). Together with Onno Blase, we created an animation style and various on-location banners for the event. Inspired by breaking, slamming and shattering typography.

Design studio Thansk gave us the challenge of capturing music in graphics and animation for the Prins Claus Conservatorium. To display the character and energy of music created by students of the conservatoire, we developed a bespoke audioreactive tool. Representing cadence and pitch as an infinte array of dynamic waves and floating typography. Within the visual identity created by Thansk, these waves function as graphical elements displaying the sounds of the conservatoire on digital and print touchpoints.

Washok is a collective with its origins rooted in a laundry room, specialized in organizing underground raves. For Washok we aimed to craft an identity that echoes the underground and represents its humble beginnings. Using an in-house developed tool we created the main identifier of the event. This central element is a stylised abstraction of both a washing machine drum and a vinyl record. Text emerges from within the grooves of the 'record'. Creating an identity centred around complex patterns and centrifugal force. The posters are printed with white ink on 300g black Plike paper, using a flatbed LED UV printer that imparts an embossed effect to the ink.

Abyss is an immersive art event that transports attendees into an alternate reality full of electronic music, surreal ritualistic practices and imposing metal sculputres. To give the viewer a taste of what's inside we crafted an identity out of metal beams and monospaced type. Combined these elements create mechanical movements, capturing the kineticism of the constructivist works decorating the event.

For the worlds most sustainable festival, we cleverly merged the default Deframe visual pack with the excisting DGTL brand identity. We seamlessly blended the DGTL Morse-based, highly digital identity with Deframe visuals, mainly consiting out of analogue images. Our content showcases Morse code shapes as masks, overlays, and loops. In this way we are able to elegantly fuse the DGTL identity with the existing Deframe visuals, as well as their characteristic style of vj'ing.

WORM is the Institute for avant-garde recreation based in Rotterdam. Having to find new ways to carry the culture's torch after COVID-19 hit, WORM World was created to digitally represent WORM and all its facets. To promote the online platform we created an emergent system that translates hand inked typography and simple animations into complex digital mosaics. With this system we establish our own method and aesthetic of digitizing the physical world.

With their 'Flip the House' concept, Samsung seamlessly integrated itself into the vibrant tapestry of youth culture. Young people love house parties. So, attendees became hosts, controlling lighting and music of their own house party in the Samsung house. During the Dutch festival seasons, Flip the House made its rounds at five major dance festivals: Amsterdam Open Air, By the Creek, Solar, Strafwerk and Mysteryland. For Samsung Flip the House I've developed a motion language around the hinged motion of their Flip phone. Additionally, I designed multiple animation templates, allowing the on-site crew to effortlessly reveal the newly chosen stage hosts and upcoming artists.
