Hello, this is Olivier Heitz.
I’m an experienced interaction designer with strong UX concept and design skills. Welcome to my portfolio.

Media Archive of the Arts Web App

The Media Archive of the Arts is a metadata-focused, free media archive system currently developed by the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), where I create the user interaction (UX), parts of the fontend programming and the visual design of the interface. The software is still in beta and only accessible to a test user base, but is planned to be released by the end of the year.

Koubachi iPhone App

Tired of tedious and difficult plant care? Never again forget to water or fertilize your plants. The Koubachi app (see video) will remind you when your plant needs water, a spray application, or when it's time to add fertilizer to the water.

I helped the developers to plan the information architecture (IA) and user interaction (UX), and designed the look and feel of the interface for this fabulous iPhone app.

Lokremise Website

This website for a cultural event venue, inside an old locomotive shed, has an interesting horizontally scrolling main navigation to let users travel between the different and modular content sections. This idea relates to the architecture of the round building, with a turning locomotive platform in the center.

Concept, design, front- and backend development made in collaboration with my dear friends Christof Täschler and Michi Vögeli.
