What is this? An ERC20 token standard compliant “Emission Token” that uses blockchain technology to enable a decentralized emissions trading system, coded as a smart contract in Solidity and deployed on the Ethereum test net. The idea Emissions trading (or cap and trade) uses the power of the market to distribute emissions in the most efficient way, in order to decrease overall pollution. First, the total amount of emissions is capped to a certain value.

Introduction This case study shows the process our team used to design a product that helps people have great virtual partys. The Contextual Design method was used to guide ourselves through every aspect of UX, from user research over design iterations to a low fidelity prototype that combines all the insights we gained. As one of the four team members I was an active part of each stage in the process.

What this is: Interactive object-oriented Java implementation of the widely known “Wumpus” game, playable through a basic CLI. Also features a knowledge-base AI to play the game, relying on propositional logic. To see the code for this project, head over to GitHub. The basic idea… …of the game is this: Armed only with a bow and (a single!) arrow, you are set to explore a cave. Do not fall into a pit!

By visualizing information, we turn it into a landscape that you can explore with your eyes, a sort of information map. And when you’re lost in information, an information map is kind of useful. ― David McCandless True data driven decision making is one of the most important skills in existence, and getting a good grasp of your data is obviously extremely important. This post features some of the various ways I have visualized data so far, including statically designed diagrams as well as fully interactive prototypes.

What this is: I created three drafts in the process of re-designing the website of one of my sustainability volunteering projects using Affinity Designer, based on a self-created grid. The process There are many ways to go about designing a web page, and one of the most popular tools to get started is the grid. “In graphic design, a grid is a structure (usually two-dimensional) made up of a series of intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal, and angular) or curved lines (grid lines) used to structure content.
