Meet Laurens

Hi! I’m Laurens Meijs.
I'm a UX & Front End designer based in The Netherlands with a passion for all kinds of digital craftsmanship.

About me

My love for all things digital keeps me delving the depths of the web. I enjoy all things media, but keep a special place in my heart for the internet. When I'm not living digitally I do nerdy stuff like Dungeons & Dragons, Ingress and offset it with airsoft.

I'm an eager learner and love to figure out the "how and why" behind stuff.

When it comes to work, I'm a problem solver. I like to be at the core of it, contributing to each stage of development.
With my background in Communication & Multimedia Design I'm able to analyze problems systematically, work out a concept and visualize it and then build it according to the demands of tomorrow's world.

I'm proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite, Axure RP, Sketch and Justinmind Prototyping. I also have some experience in Illustrator, Cinema 4D, Propellerhead Reason and Ableton Live.

Some of the most fun projects I've done include general web design, interaction design, prototyping and concepting.

Shaping experiences

Over the years I've learned to adapt a user-centered mindset to create effective design solutions. The ideal outcome is a digital experience with a perfect match of form and function.

When developing such experiences I often use the following approach:

Research

Gather the present state for solid understanding of the problem and possible solutions.

Structuring

Setup project and contents, establish roadmap and deliverables.

Concept & Strategy

Collaborate on conceptual approach, deployment and UX strategy to offer the best experience.

Create

Create, evaluate, iterate. Validate the product and iterate where needed.
