I am responsible for the redesign of Poppi Drugsmuseum's exhibition and research project on ecstasy legalization. This includes the creation of a survey through front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React) and backend (NodeJS) languages and storage of secure data on Azure. Complementing the survey is a game-like series of illustrations and designs for a mobile, interactive exhibition to be displayed at several locations throughout the Netherlands and the EU, launching in Amsterdam on January 26th.
