A Design System you can actually touch

A Design System you can actually touch

When Philips built its PLDS design system, it needed to cover the complete experience. And a large part of the Philips experience is grounded in the physical and tactile world of buttons, knobs, sliders, LEDs and audio signals. Philips enlisted VanBerlo to create a design system for which no blueprints existed

Design is a collaborative effort and I tried to clearly outline my contributions to the projects in my portfolio. I have taken on the role of lead designer in many, co-designing project lead in some, and coaching team lead in others, but in all I played an integral role.

Some of these projects I did on my own, but the majority is a result of a small team of 2 to 4 people. Therefore some projects may appear in other portfolios. This portfolio site is based on a template by Charles Patterson
