Toon display

Toon is a smart thermostat developed by Quby - an innovation company by Eneco, in The Netherlands. Toon is a device that provides the user control over their house heating system, and smart appliances like Philips HUE lights and manages the energy consumption of their house appliances. I worked across features mainly as a Visual Designer while working alongside my UX Designers, and Research and Copy colleagues.

Designing new features

While designing some of the features for testing like the humidity sensor (left image) I got the chance to be more playful (one of our design principles) using illustrations. On other occasions features were straightforward and a need for the user, like the message center. At all times I needed to think about how the features work when the display is not being touched (dark mode), and that was at times quite challenging because of the contrast.

Illustrations

When I joined Quby (the company designing and building Toon at the time) one of the first projects I worked on was the re-branding of the display and I got the chance to create some illustrations too, which I really enjoyed.
