Maarten Corpel
Digital Product Designer
The Netherlands
Since 2016 I have been working as a freelance designer to define how digital products work and what they look like.
I enjoy working closely with teammates to create quality products that are built to last.
Being creative is at the core of everything I do. It’s all about discovery and learning.
After work you'll probably find me in the kitchen or studio. I'm always experimenting and creating things.
2021 - 2023
Senior Product Designer
Web, Data visualization
The past two years I have worked with a major energy multinational. I can't publicly share details. Send me an email to get access to the case study.
Designing systems
I worked in a team that delivers dashboards for the trading division. We focussed on visualizing data that supports traders to make decisions with confidence.
Thinking systematically helps align across products. An effective system is flexible and helps it's users communicate as we're often trying to solve similar challenges.
In collaboration with other designers we've created a design system to help teams build better digital products faster.
i don't know, let's figure it out
Design is a process to solve challenges. We don’t need to know everything, we just need to know how to get to the best possible outcome.
balance, patterns & rhythm
Patterns and rhythm are used to create a sense of order and predictability. The balance is in knowing when to follow or break the pattern.
everything is not meant to be perfect
The thing you’re building will never be perfect. It also doesn’t have to be as it will never be perfect to everyone. Design is never done, there’s always something to improve.
i love doing the things i love to do
When I'm not working, I'm always creating something else. It's all about the is the process. There's always a new challenge to tackle.
You know what to do.
