Willem Borsboom

Interaction Designer & Prototyper

Hi, I'm Willem. I'm fascinated by new technology, and by making it feel human rather than like a computer: designed around how people naturally move, perceive and think, and woven into the context it's used in. I get to know that context out in the field, prototype early to make ideas tangible, and bring user experience and business goals together.

Building Happlo for visionOS with SwiftUI and agentic coding

This hobby project is currently in development: I’m building Happlo for Apple Vision Pro, natively in SwiftUI. I find Vision Pro a fascinating device with a lot of potential, and building for it is the best way to really get to know it. Also, it’s a lot of fun to see how fast you can go from idea to working prototype these days with agentic coding.
