Welcome home

Touch and turn

Existing analogue thermostats typically use a rotating, mechanical interaction of grabbing; holding and twisting. And modern interfaces currently use touch screens give us even more interaction opportunities. By combining both options fluidly, with simple interactions, you create an interface that affords for a massive variety of people’s needs.

The control of Butler is designed to give you access to all settings quickly, whilst keeping an overview so you don’t get lost in all the possibilities within the interface.

Nsure’s identity & website

Next to the product identity of Nsure’s first product line, we’ve created an overall visual identity for Nsure, as well as the styles for online and offline media.

Nsure’s logo visualises books on a shelf; with one book playfully tipped over. All other visual elements of the UX we carefully designed to hint towards relatable things in your home; e.g. a heater for temperature control, or a fan for air quality, or an electric plug for energy consumption. Using these iconic metaphors makes the digital functions understandable for all.
