Principles of UX Design
NDSM Podwalk
A location-based audio walk that connects the industrial history of Amsterdam-Noord with the atmosphere of the NDSM Wharf today.
My contribution
Co-developed the concept and route, conducted site research, shaped the narrative, and designed and iterated the mobile prototype.
Methods & tools
Site visits, desk research, route mapping, narrative arc, Norman's three levels, sensory design, wireframes, and peer testing.
What I learned
- Context should shape the interface, not merely decorate it.
- Story structure can organise movement through a physical environment.
- Outdoor use requires stronger hierarchy, contrast, and guidance.
- Testing exposed concrete issues in typography, navigation, and interaction wording.
Transfer
This strengthened my ability to connect digital touchpoints with a wider service experience and to design a guided moment rather than an isolated screen.
