Hi, I'm Wouter Schreuders.

    Designer, builder, and occasional photographer.

    Approach

    I prototype with real APIs and live data rather than static mockups. This means problems surface early, before engineering commits time to building something that doesn’t hold up in practice. The case studies below show what this looks like: a custom D3 data visualisation tool built from concept to validated product in five days, and a consistent 3D character system built with a handful of prompt-engineering rules.

    I’ve been designing and building digital products for over 20 years, most recently as the founding designer at NFTfi (a peer-to-peer NFT lending protocol) and before that as Digital Creative Director at Allan Gray, one of South Africa’s largest investment managers. I’m comfortable across Web3, fintech, and enterprise, and I’ve led design teams, built design systems from scratch, and worked closely with C-suite stakeholders throughout.

    AI & Rapid Prototyping

    EO Dubai · 2026

    On using AI to compress data-visualisation work from spec-and-wait cycles into days. The chart below was built for the audience using local data: UAE population by nationality, 1974 onward. Hit play to run it.

    The build process is broken down in D3 Was for Engineers. AI Changed That.
