Got struck by a cold last Friday. As a result my cats have been in heaven all weekend long: they got unlimited couch time with a warm, immoveable human being. At least my cold serves some purpose... #sick #cats #catsofinstagram #couchpotato #commoncold #elkvoordeelhebznnadeel
Back on the ferry after a day in my hometown. Coffee with my mother, drinks with my father and some office work in between. It was a good day. #nofilter #ferry #amsterdamnoord #ilovenoord #noordgestoord #clouds
Sign on the door of the ladies room. It's not gender neutral yet but at least she's wearing pants. That's something! #naarden #sign #office
I am back in my home town (Bussum) and waiting for ages at the manually controlled railway crossing makes me feel like a teenager again. #railway #bussum #naarden #waiting #train
After the session on #humanprototyping (or enactment workshop), we got some lovely responses including this one on paper. This participant felt she got a holistic understanding of the experience. Whoah! #butterflyworks #facilitating #humancentereddesign #designthinking
Today I did something new... I facilitated a human prototyping session. We got a design challenge from Uganda and tried out some of the solutions that were previously brainstormed. By role playing we found new opportunities and challenges in the design. The participants discussed their experiences and feelings after playing in the scenario of -for instance- the multiple use community garden. How was it from 'the inside'? It may all sound a little abstract but it was REALLY insightful. I wanna do more of this. Playing (and improvising) makes so much sense in these settings! #prototyping #humanprototyping #designthinking #humancentereddesign #butterflyworks #facilitating
Today I am leading a session on human prototyping at #butterflyworks. How to explore and try out a design by playing it out. And playing, that is something I love to facilitate. #inspiration #amsterdamnoord #prototyping #humanprototyping #designthinking #humancentereddesign
Tonight I taught the fun players of #Improganga again. I have a soft spot for these improvisers, they are so lovely to me. Look at them being kind and playful in this exercise. Two players with their eyes closed try to feel and then mimic the pose of the two other players in a statue. "I found the fourth leg!" and "Where does his body end and her body begin?" #improv #teaching #physicaltheatre #theatre #cinetol #coaching
