Boijmans van Beuningen Reorganisation Strategy

Posted on by

Boijmans van Beuningen is on the brink of major change; renovations and the construction of a new collection building are scheduled for the months to come. In the face of these changes, the administration saw this as the perfect opportunity to step back and re-examine the responsibilities of each department. I was contacted by Act to Be, a Dutch organisation that specializes in intrapersonal communication training, to participate in a design that could reveal all the major events in the coming five years and the many ways these elements were connected. After leading many in-person meetings and creative exercises with numerous members of the administration, a temporal infographic was designed to elucidate where the museum is going in the years to come, informing stakeholders, members, public officials or the very staff of the museum.

Posters, presentations and an animated walkthrough of the process were the outcome of this extensive process.

Why We Cycle – Animation

Posted on by

Arne Gielen and Gertjan Hulster from the production company, Nieuw en Verbeterd, contacted me to animate an opening title for their documentary about the cycling culture in the Netherlands. Working with the talented designer, Riccardo Russomanno, an art direction was developed and a series of font styles were made into an hierarchy. From here, I rotoscoped footage of a group of cyclists as they crossed a red bike path and then added the logo along with texture elements to make it appear weathered and as if it had been painted in place. I also animated maps to show patterns of cyclist movement throughout cities.

Tour de Force 2020

Posted on by

Tour de Force 2020 is the national initiative to increase bicycle ridership across the Netherlands by 20% over the next three years. The policy combines the goals and strategies of governments at the municipal, regional and national level. While working with the economic consultancy firm, Decisio, I was hired to make an infographic of the return of investment that cycling can bring, based on the research completed by Decisio. The infographic appeared across the web, spread far and wide on social media and was central to the official document, “Agenda Fiets 2017-2020.” I developed an infographic that covered the most important details of the findings, showing how when governments invest in cycling infrastructure, the return on the invest is overwhelming. I helped translate the Dutch version into English and worked extensively to edit the content into its simplest and clearest form.

The Centre of Urban Studies at the University of Amsterdam started a department called Houwel to research the state of housing and welfare policies in governments from around the world. The team won a grant to fund the dissemination of their work in new and creative ways. Researchers in this department contacted me with the intention of making a three-part animated infographic series. Over the next several months, I worked alongside the research team to script, record, animate and edit the content into 3-4 minute videos that shared the main findings from their multiyear research. As part of the process, I developed the art direction, audio engineering and extensive animation. The results were shared across social media and published online in the Telegraph.

Sustainable Amsterdam is a consultancy firm based in Amsterdam that showcases the city’s many innovative approaches to urban planning, resiliency and sustainable mobility. Part of the research formed the basis of “Are Streets for Cars” a short video demonstrating the changes to Amsterdam over the past few decades, changing into the liveable city that it is today. I worked extensively with Sustainable Amsterdam to showcase the positive message in their research and encourage people to learn more about the city and its transformation.

The results have been published in many international media outlets and have appeared in conferences around the world.
