Josh Bennett — UX & Visual Designer

Since January 2025, I have worked to repackage and elevate our core proposition. The sections below walk through five workstreams and what each one aimed to achieve.

We adapted the Obeya into a digitally navigable version that gives a team a 360-degree view of its own status, without anyone needing to be in the building.

Vindmolen is an AI-prototyped concept, prompted to improve the rental search experience. Vindmolen acts as an aggregator, providing relevant leads and AI-assisted applications to help ease search fatigue.

Stubben Edge Group runs 11 brands that had never shared a single component. We built a themed UI system that standardises how every one of them behaves, while letting each keep its own face.

To the younger generation, insurance can seem inaccessible. We set out to revitalise Stubben Edge’s direct-to-consumer products by developing a new brand and website to make financial services digestible and approachable for a new audience.

A “human-powered” local currency designed to foster community connection and sustainable living in BoTu, Rotterdam. The app concept empowers a diverse neighbourhood to keep economic value local.

Being visually impaired (VI) doesn’t stop anyone from dancing. Dansense is a haptic wearable insole that translates dance cues into physical sensation, empowering visually impaired dancers to move independently and with confidence.

Polyglot VR is a choice-based virtual reality game designed to reimagine second-language learning. The project addresses the lack of engaging, practical speaking experience in standard curricula by allowing users to roleplay and converse with AI-driven NPCs. The outcome is an interactive space that develops speaking and listening skills through contextual immersion. It won the Design Excellence Award at Northumbria University.

Digital interfaces shouldn’t be predictable. Our experimental project, Beyond Bounds, attempted to break this mould through an immersive VR experience designed to evoke emotion and challenge traditional UI conventions. By launching users into an interstellar journey, it uses the vastness of space and celestial bodies to explore the human psyche.
