Introduction – Nicolaas Bijvoet
Hi there all,
Just as a introduction my name is Nicolaas Bijvoet and I’m from Belgium. I, with my collegue Jill VandenDriessche, teach as a lecturer at a University College. We also co-founded, Belial.is a digital thinking-tank.
Prior to lecturing we’ve been in the industry for the good part of a decade. Now as lecturers, we help students on their way in designing for the digital age.
My expertise lies with designing cross channel experiences – concept, interaction design, prototyping and … well … design. I’m no developer, but I have a strong intrest in coding. I know my way aroud html, css, js Jill on the other hand is the master developer, with a very strong knowledge of html/css/js/php/java but keeps an eye open for good ux.
Besides teaching we are involved in several research projects exploring possibilities in the ‘mobile’ sphere as wel as the so-called ‘internet of things’ sphere.
We are looking forward to contributing, discussing and finding new and engaging ways to guide youngsters their way in this whole digital age.
Greetings!
Nice to meet you, Nicolaas. It’s always great to meet like-minded people. Could you elaborate on what exactly possibilities in the ‘mobile’ sphere you’re exploring? I’m most definitely interested in the topic as well. Thanks.
Hi Nicolaas. I’d like to learn about that as well. I and my colleagues used to work on a similar project but then we stopped. We consider renewing our activities. It would be nice to get together on Skype or something and discuss it.
