For me, design is not just about offering a solution to a user. It is a way of thinking, creating and expressing, where my inner child and me work together to imagine, explore and play with a universe of elements such as colors, shapes and typographies to give them life and purpose through movement and interaction.

Masihy Kowoll

Digital Interaction Designer with a degree summa cum laude and a three-month UX/UI internship at Bosch. What I enjoy most is the creative phase: developing ideas and turning them into prototypes people can try, whether for an app, a website or an installation. Layo shows how I test ideas with users: I tested the app in a seminar room, at the airport and with 23 participants in Maze.

Projects

Layo – Mobile app for airport assistance (graduation project)

  • Developed a mobile app that improves waiting time at the airport, following Design Thinking. The basis was 6 interviews, a survey with 90 responses and a guerrilla test with 101 people; from this I created flowcharts and customer journey maps.
  • Tested the prototype in three rounds: with 7 people in a simulated airport scenario in a seminar room, with 5 people at the airport and with 23 participants in Maze.
  • Because test participants did not find the map button, I redesigned and repositioned it in three iterations. In a later Maze round, participants found it.
  • Built the design system and interactive prototypes in Figma, gathered feedback from five experts and used ChatGPT for usage scenarios and visual assets.
  • Designed a gamification system with collectible airport stamps.

Role: Storytelling

  • User research: attended a municipal council session, observed how staff work and talked with them; contributed to problem definition and ideation.
  • In the storytelling team, developed the dramaturgy and visual design of several project presentations, including the two most important ones, given to the dean of the design faculty, the university rector, the mayor and municipal staff. The municipality took over the project afterwards.
