PORTFOLIO
ELOISA KOMPIER
Hi there!
I'm Eloisa
- a Dutch UX & UI designer eager to create a meaningful and innovative experience through my designs.
I design interactive systems, products, and services. With my past experiences, I developed expertise in UX & UI design. I’m a creative, big-picture thinker obsessed with crafting the details and delivering quality products and services. I aim to design future-focused, multi-user solutions that bring UI design to a new level. I really enjoy learning new things and connecting with people across a range of industries.
MY BACKGROUND
I was born in the Netherlands but partly raised in Brazil as well. Growing up, I had a unique perspective of the two different worlds - it was all about experiences. I found my love for design while growing up. The chance to focus on people while still working in the tech world was the driving force behind my decision to pursue industrial design study in the first place.
Identity
1. I am a creative, big-picture thinker obsessed with crafting the details
2. I am personable, and an energetic collaborator motivated to inspire.
3. I am ambitious, delivery-focused, and adaptable to the task.
4. I have a deep sense of empathy, which fuels my passion for designing inclusive and meaningful experiences for people.
5. Furthermore, I am strong at communicating design intents - verbally and visually.
6. I embrace experimentation, and I am not afraid to be wrong.

No1Robotics
No1robotics believe in a future where social robots will be part of our everyday lives. They focus on training people in health care, education, local government and retail to make their first step in applying humanoid robots in the workspace. My role was to redesign No1Robotics' Pepper robot application and CMS platform.
2019 - 2021
MARIN
MARIN, the Maritime Research Institute in the Netherlands, is one of the leading institutes in the world for hydrodynamic maritime technology. As a UX researcher, my role was to research possible ways to control future autonomous ships from a shore control centre through a graphical user interface.
2020
The Phoenix Project
The Phoenix Project, a FET-Open Horizon2020 funded project, is dedicated to developing novel techniques to explore pipeline environments. I was responsible for designing a UI for future pipeline inspection technology.
2019
Nutreco
For Nutreco, we examined several digital trends in the Chinese animal feed and agricultural industry. As the design lead of the project team, I was responsible for brainstorming and prototyping the final presented design concepts.

Profile
UX & UI Designer eager to create meaningful & innovative experiences through design
I’m a creative, big-picture thinker obsessed with crafting future-focused concepts and delivering products that give users a meaningful and innovative experience. Meaningful experiences are about supporting the user to achieve a specific goal. Creative experiences are defined as experiences that make every interaction natural, functional, easy, and seamless.
To facilitate this as a designer, I am comfortable across disciplines equipped with theoretical design knowledge and practical tools. I worked on start-ups, companies, and research groups across different industries, ranging from the health care sector to the entertainment and transportation sector. I have recently worked on naval control and operations projects, where I was introduced to more complex sociotechnical and safety-critical systems interfaces that challenge my design skills more than ever. These past experiences shaped my design values and vision. I realised that I gain a lot of energy from cooperating with enthusiastic individuals, regardless of their area, and I thrive in a multidisciplinary setting. Ultimately, I can bridge disciplines, and I am confident to lead design processes that include myself and others. Students, co-workers, and coaches appreciate my devotion to the work, as well as my ability to graphically present concepts and research discoveries appealingly and understandably. Projects that I like to work on are often future-focused innovative, hence challenging where there is room for research and design exploration.
My strengths as a designer are studying and understanding numerous stakeholders' needs, goals, and values and applying that knowledge to make design decisions. I love absorbing, creating and demonstrating knowledge & concepts. I base the work on an academic foundation and user research and often get happily lost in the context of the project. As a visual learner, I am attracted to graphic and structural design, shaping how I work and present insights. Through that, I recognise patterns and connect easily dots that lead to my ideas.
VISION
Guide high technology companies in the design & implementation of their products
My ultimate vision is to guide high-technology solution companies to design and implement complex sociotechnical systems, focusing on creating meaningful and innovative human-technology experiences. I aim to design future-focused, multi-user solutions that bring UI design to a new level.
Complex systems are developed in the global race to develop autonomous and life-changing technologies. With the rapid development in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, IoT technologies and VR/AR and 3D technology, an increase of automated systems and immersive digital systems are expected in the future. As more autonomous technologies appear across a broad range of industries, the need to develop and incorporate safety-critical and social-technical techniques will be paramount to a company’s ability to grow and scale its products, meet evolving regulatory requirements, and gain the public’s trust. Consequently, there will be a high need for designers to design in these complex systems. Therefore, my role as a designer will improve system performance and ensure meaningful experiences for the individual and the collective group.
To achieve this, I must constantly emerge myself into the domain knowledge and understand the strengths and limitations of current technology. My approach to design research should strive to understand the social structures, roles, and workflow (the social sciences) to inform the design of systems that involve communities of people and technology. I have confidence in the ability of design to envision future worlds and to inspire a more supportive and ethical development of technology for society. Designers, I believe, can help solve societal problems and construct a better future via multidisciplinary cooperation and a grounded, analytical approach to "creative" work.
״The potential to develop products and services, change how technology and the world operate and shape the future is the primary reason I enjoy my profession. It also helps that I have the freedom to be creative, collaborate with excellent people from various disciplines, and see my concepts turn into reality.״
