This piece of the internet is my place to share and show design work and custom tooling*

My name is Kevin van Breemaat, a senior user experience designer at Essent with 10+ years of experience in designing user-friendly and proven designs. Here are you can find my C.V. and LinkedIn


WEB - WCAG and Conversion proof address picker

The amount of effort that went into this is unreal. But the end result is proven to be efficient (for this user base and context), it's WCAG 2.2 compliant and fits all business and technical requirements.

WEB - Scaleable product offering solution

Depending on the user needs, user-context (usage, family situation, house-type,) and realtime news/events the offered product can be 1 or 50.

TOOL - Quickly check for WCAG 1.4.1 compliance in Figma

WCAG 1.4.1 requires all text to be resizeable up tot 200%. I made a small Figma Plugin to automate a slow and boring manual tasks to check for this usecase.

WEB - Product card system

Wireframes of a component with a structured, yet scaleable layout to fit in (almost) endless scenarios. The end product was a multithemded component.

WEB - Visual storytelling for UNICEF.nl

Translated a new digital strategy (not my own) into omnichannel, visual storytelling wireframes. Built on a See–Think–Do structure, with flexibility to activate campaigns and highlight UNICEF’s impact in global crises as well as in the Netherlands.

Still honoured to have been part of this ♥ (it feels a bit surreal)

APP - Energy and heating schedule app

A flashlight button! It's a small touch, but it comes in handy

APP - Insurance road side assistance app

For a Dutch insurance company. Based on your location we could be 98% sure where you are. But being on the highway or next to it on a parallel road is a world of difference. It took me quite a while to get this final shape and I love it.

APP - University app

App to offer junior students their latest exam results for immediate focus, while seniors can trace their study progress over the years for comprehensive growth tracking.

APP - Menu personalisation for a my environment student

A simple yet native approach to app menu personalization, successfully applied across four projects.

WEB - Website localisation SEO x UX

Wireframes I used to explain redirects and language suggestions for a localized .com domain to our client, stakeholders, third-party SEO experts, content writers, the marketing team, and multiple development teams.

WEB - Commerce cart

A streamlined B2B ecommerce cart component that combines multiple item sizes for efficient scanning of large orders, featuring states, micro animations, stock info, and back order options.

WEB/APP - Comments and AI concept

A concept to integrate an AI bot within the Google Docs comment system. Not made for Google.***

CONCEPT - Business proposition concept designs

This concept simplifies a pitch to connect Client A with Client B by blending their business strenghts and both make a profit.

WEB - Complex crypto interface made easy

My (short) venture in to crypto world with an income tracker for gamers who earn money by playing P2E games. And yes that's a real thing.

WEB - Quick add to basket

Wireframes for a custom power-user tool designed to streamline the efficient addition of numerous products. Users can input product IDs from printed catalogs or previous orders, leveraging their existing knowledge. Additionally, the tool supports seamless copy-paste functionality from Excel for added convenience

WEB - Maandag.com Design system documentation and proposals

A system to grow and expand. From one country and culture > To multiple while keeping consistent

WEB - Motion made in Figma

Inspired by video the streaming of Netflix and the likes I made this but with games and gameplay content instead to make the whole thing more engaging and dynamic.

WEB - Custom on page chatbot interaction on scroll

Service and support page with KPI to push for chats over calls. This thing alone save about 5.000 euro a month by reducing calls

CODE - Design in Figma with a PlayStation Controller

I've configured my PlayStation controller to mimic most mouse and keyboard functions, utilizing approximately 290 shortcuts. This setup has been my primary tool for daily tasks at DEPT for three years, up until 2021.

PS: This video has audio so it doesn't auto play

WEB - That extra bit of effort

A flashlight button! It's a small touch, but it comes in handy when we send you to the "dungeons" (your utility closet) for your yearly water readings.

WEB - Website navigation for a client

My best main navigation to date. That's all I am going to say about it. Trust me. The best part is that there are only two buttons in the top right corner!

CODE - Reviving ancient tech

T9 inspirired concept to type with single joystick. This is the keyboard I used to type with the PlayStation controller. It was intended to type short copy like CTA's like 'continue to payment'. This was the only version that I also used to type emails and design documentation with.

WEB - Keyboard customization software

This software lets users deeply customize small, ergonomic keyboards by defining key actions based on timing, hold duration, multiple presses, and more. The challenge was to keep the currently assigned outputs clear within a glance**

WEB - Donate?!

A page design that pitche a goodcause by showcasing efficiency per euro spent, using impactful images, transparent data, and expert reviews to prove its value.

CONTENT - Users before KPI's

Did a lot for this client. But this is still my proudest part of the app. A few lines of text to inform students they are legally allowed to go to a study board 'examencommissie' and help them in doing so. This has no business benefit for the uni but they did it anyway.

WEB - Old but gold

Don't judge the visual design. It's from 2011! This animal shelter donation form is a nostalgic favorite of mine.

TOOL - Figma navigation with Nintendo Switch Joycon

My attempt to improve orientation in Figma using a Nintendo Switch controller and its gyroscope and accelerometer readings. It's OK, not great, but it was fun to try it anyway.
