Challenge: How do you convey the dynamics of innovative entrepreneurs in the Utrecht region in a visually appealing and interactive way? How do you make complex data and stories accessible while highlighting the strength of the network and the support businesses receive? The challenge was to find a balance between storytelling and providing an overview of the region’s impact on entrepreneurs.
Solution: We created a scrolly web page with interactive data elements that guide visitors through the story of the “State of Innovation.” Using visual storytelling, we illustrated the journey of entrepreneurs, from knowledge and funding to market access. The interactive elements allow visitors to explore and experience the impact of the Utrecht region on innovative entrepreneurs for themselves.

Challenge: We were tasked with finding a way to clearly explain the somewhat complex concept of “local cryptocurrency.” Our approach focused on creating a website that inspires trust and offers a simple, secure experience for payments. Greenhood aims to demystify blockchain technology, making the payment process transparent and user-friendly—without intermediaries but with the highest standards of security and reliability.
Solution: We designed and developed a minimalist and intuitive website for Greenhood that clearly communicates the essence of their platform. The website explains how the payment process works without emphasizing the complexity of blockchain, providing users with a seamless and secure transaction experience.
By incorporating intuitive transitions, custom illustrations, animations, and even a video, we ensured that Greenhood is accessible and easy to understand. The result is a functional website that reflects Greenhood’s core values.

Challenge: CMU is in possession of valuable data. The question was: how can we turn this data into actionable insights that benefit its members? We quickly arrived at the idea of a custom dashboard. The dashboard needed to do more than visualize data—it had to serve as a platform for sharing insights, fostering collaboration, and enabling strategic decision-making based on real-time information.
Solution: To better serve its members, we enriched and visualized CMU’s valuable data. We developed a tailored online dashboard that combines and presents various data streams in an intuitive way. The dashboard provides an overview of key performance indicators, trends, and developments in the Utrecht region, with interactive elements allowing users to perform in-depth analyses. Thanks to clear visualizations and a user-friendly design, even users without a data background can quickly gain insights and make data-driven decisions.

Transformers Group
Mamma Mia! The Party Dinner App
Challenge: How do you ensure that the operation of Mamma Mia! The Party! doesn’t turn into a “Super Trouper”-style chaotic flash? Staff need to swiftly guide an incredible number of guests to their seats and ensure they receive the correct service for an optimal experience! With the high pressure on hospitality staff and the sheer scale of the dining experience (an average of 650 guests per show), effective UX design becomes more crucial than ever. How do you make sure every visitor is served in true “The Winner Takes It All” spirit while staff maintain control?
Solution: Jaaf designed an app that makes seating and dining preferences as easy to manage as singing an ABBA hit. With a clear, visual representation of the venue, staff can instantly see who is seated where and what preferences have been indicated. The dashboard provides real-time insights into key details: who’s yet to arrive, and what are the group compositions? All of this is powered by flawless backend technology and smart real-time AI integrations, ensuring there are no “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme” misunderstandings.

FIFA
From lots of data to a clear story
Challenge: To elevate soccer worldwide to an even higher level. To this end, FIFA investigated how soccer is structured in 200 countries. They collected more than 1,000,000 data points. Big question: how do you translate all that data into a clear and accessible story? And, not just that, but in only 200 reports!
The solution: We designed a uniquely flexible template for the report. This was applicable to all countries because we took into account the distribution of data and text. To make the process of filling out this template easier, we linked a CMS to it. At its peak, 75 people were participating at the same time!

Neste MY SAF
Explanimating why Neste’s fuel goes the distance
Challenge: How Neste gets from recyclable, raw materials to bio-kerosene is rather (read: extremely!) technical. At the same time, its use is very practical: taking aircraft further while bringing the sustainable future of aviation closer. Neste asked for help in explaining this story, so of course, Jaaf got on board.
The solution: We designed a set of panoramic illustrations, by way of a storyboard for their ‘explanimation’ and social media posts.

Google
The road to online success
Challenge: Google My Business is a cool initiative that allows businesses to raise their profile. But how do you explain to a small or medium-sized company what it is exactly, and how they can easily use it for their business? For a one-year program Jaaf worked intensively with a select group of end-users on finding an understandable customer journey.
Solution: Jaaf developed visual instructions and clear roadmaps which were tested in weekly sessions with the end users.

Waternet
Everybody on the same page
Challenge: Waternet is a large and complex organization that wanted to improve its internal services. The goal was to bring together as many services as possible in an online portal, and to provide customization where necessary. To achieve this, it was necessary to map out the various viewpoints, interests and needs within the organization. Fortunately, Jaaf was there to facilitate all internal discussions on this.
Solution: In a series of workshops, we helped the organization to clarify its direction. Through group discussions, working with a visual toolkit, we could put all ideas immediately down on paper. As a result, gradually, connections were made and the goal became clear to everyone.

Royal HaskoningDHV
Support for innovation in water treatment
Challenge: Royal HaskoningDHV is currently researching innovative solutions for (industrial) water treatment. Major adaptations to existing water purification companies are likely, so they need to effectively communicate solid information which invites investment. Jaaf got the job done!
Solution: Through a series of infographics, we’ve shown how the process works, making the solutions more understandable. We also designed the
infographics so they can be easily broken down into smaller parts – useful for social media.

Municipality of Rotterdam
Municipality of Rotterdam
Challenge: Every municipality is required to share voting results publicly. But why publish them in boring tables when you can do it in a more attractive way? That’s precisely why the municipality of Rotterdam came to Jaaf!
Solution: Because community-minded Rotterdammers can take a great interest in their own neighborhoods, we made each local area more easily recognizable on an interactive map, through which citizens can find the results for each neighborhood, district and even polling station – accessible and attractive.
