As designers, I feel we have a responsibility to create a better world.
I aim to bring joy to everyday life through thoughtful digital products. While flashy designs might have it's place, my focus is on solving real problems for real people. My passion for the automotive and mobility industries drives me to continually refine my skills as a digital product designer and never stop learning.
For this client project I was solely responsible for the research and design. Together with in-house developers, I worked towards an MVP which could be used to validate the need for digitising the process.
To make the initial research findings more tangible, we had a short UI sprint to create mockups of a potential interface for their clients.
I was lucky enough to work for Polestar during my graduation project where the brief was to allow users to log their trips using the new Android Automotive interface in the Polestar 2.
As one of our clients' project grew, it became harder and harder to align with development. Therefore we decided to set up a clear component library and process so we could align better. This way the designs became the source of truth for all documentation and features progressed from work-in-progress to done in a clear way that aligned with our project management.
I’m learning a lot from my fellow colleagues, with way more experience and knowledge than me, it’s great! All the client projects give me a lot of different context to apply my skills.
I’m currently living in The Netherlands, where I grew up as well. I love traveling, but honestly... nothing is like home!
Passionate about way too many things, but you’ll likely find me karting in the weekends, or taking photographs on holidays.
I’ve always been fascinated with motion design and automotive design, specifically cars from the 80s and 90s, so I thought, why not combine the two!?
Had a lot of fun creating an imaginative gauge cluster for my car, a 1991 NA Mazda Miata.
Don't just take my word for it, read what others have to say about me.
I’ve had the pleasure of working on multiple projects with Elwin. These ranged from very abstract tasks, such as researching and mapping opportunities for sales processes, to practical ones, like designing interfaces for complex B2B solutions. Whatever the challenge, he always brought along his drive, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn.
Elwin is a great addition to any team. As a person, he is involved and considerate, simply a very nice and cheerful person to work and share a drink with. When I look at his personal and professional development and his talent for UX, I am convinced he will continue to offer us many more beautiful things in the future.

It was a blast working with Elwin, on a personal level but also experiencing his great skill as a UI Designer. Apart from making the-right-pretty-things-that-work, he differentiates himself from his peers by his outstanding structure and method. Through his efforts we have validated flows, designs and a sustainable design system, and also great fun along the way.
If you are a PM/PO looking for a designer, I recommend adding Elwin to your team!
