Design: Infographics

Visualising complexity

ArtMotivator has teamed up with Blockchain for LEAN to develop an informative series of infographics to help people understand blockchain technology. Because many organizations are now familiar with LEAN, it makes sense to combine this with systems thinking and Blockchain technology.
This mainly focuses on how process optimization can be achieved by means of blockchain technology. The infographics were created to be combined with a blog that appears monthly on the Blockchain for Lean website and on Linkedin.

Design: 2020-2022 Me-We-World platform, Webdesign, brainstorm tools

Design as a medium for interactions to crystalize changes

A well-thought-out design is well-thought-out because it is examined from different perspectives how a problem can be solved. Today’s complex society faces many new challenges in the field of sustainability, technology and social interaction. Design practice can facilitate a conversation between different interest groups in an open and accessible way, challenging people to adopt different perspectives. Design Thinking methods and Lean Systems thinking is indispensable part of this. Within the Me-We program, as part of Civilization design, several pilots have been started in which online (Miro boards) and offline people can come together. For more info visit the link below.

Design & concept: boardgames

Civilization Design through gamification

Gamification and serious gaming use game principles in a non-game context. Complex problems and challenges in daily life can be made transparent in this way because people can imitate situations from daily life. It has been shown that gamification increases people’s engagement because people are intrinsically motivated. A safe gaming environment where mistakes do not affect real life makes people less reluctant and allows people to experiment with different ways of thinking and strategies.

Below are 3 projects.

UPD – Join the spark

Blockchain for Lean

In October 2021, a Lean systems thinking workshop was held during the UPD – Join the Spark* return days, in which waste in maternity care was made transparent through gamification. The participants then investigated how the chain process can be made more effective and efficient with blockchain technology.

Hand-made-one-off or industrial-hand made

I started BLVW in 2022 a project in which art and design meet. My starting point in designing my lamps and wallpapers was to explore how the inner world relates to the outer world. This can be taken figuratively but also literally as with the design of the “Into the Woods” lamp where you get the feeling that you are walking in a forest when you look at it while sitting in your living room. This even works a bit meditative! That’s why I called BLVW artistic unique lamps with a meditative edge.
