    Responsive Webdesign for
    11 Countries - Brand Merge with Thuiszbezorg.nl

    • After my apprenticeship as Mediadesigner (Digital/Webdesignerin) in 2014, I was starting my job at Lieferando, as Junior Front-End Developerin. In 2015 europes biggest player in the market of food delivery was in need for a responsive web experience! I contributed to the web frame work and was involved in the further RWD development and quality assurance of the css & js code (node.js, json, webpack, git workflow).
    • Lieferando was founded in 2009 branded in Red, after the merge with takeaway.com in 2014, also known as Thuisbezorgd.nl - The Company with the Orange brand colours from the Netherlands. It was the start of a new aera expanding the food delivery service branded in orange and going responsive for 11 countries. I took over the role as first Inhouse UI Webdesignerin to align the UI Components for a complete re-design roll-out
    • As UI Designerin/Frontend we kicked of a new aligned user experience for web, app and mobile. Keeping the focus of the vision, I always emerse myself into the full story of the business and its mainly a reason I created Marketing assets to visualise the Brand Story.
      Lieferando envisions a world where ordering food is effortless, fast, and enjoyable for everyone.

Developing a Design System Helped to onboard new Designers and to align the various departments and Product Teams, as a foundation to guide the design requirements and opportunities of the entire organization working with key stakeholders throughout the process and keeping a coherent brand design language.
