Digital transformation
When I started for the Digital Team at AkzoNobel, the company was in the early stages of transforming to the digital era. Working agile, setting up an in-house UX/UI team, developing consumer apps, it had not really been done before. After working with the team for 2 years I can say it has been interesting and exciting to be part of that transformation. The first project I worked on, was creating a worldwide platform for professional painters.
The second project involved a worldwide platform for Woodcare, for brands like CetaBever in The Netherlands and Xyladecor in Germany. The challenge was to create one platform that could easily be adapted to another brand by simply applying a different stylesheet. We created an UX toolkit, based on a system that determined the fonttype, colors, logo's etc. for all the different brands. That way, while developing the default theme, on the fly, all the other themed css files were created.
