Babouche baboos
Launch: 2013
Client: Studio Martijn Homan for Babouche
www.babouchebaboos.com
Babouche is a Dutch shoe company that branded ‘baboos’ — buttons that decorate elements of their collection, such as boots and wallets. The website was built with the commission of Studio Martijn Homan, the graphic user interface designer. Behind the front end development was the Content Management System, which permitted the administrator to update the site autonomously.
The website’s goal was to present the company’s collection online. There’s no point of sale included in the website, but there was a store locator to find points of sale. After some time, an external online store was linked on the site.

About MissPixel
Global entrepreneur
Based in Barcelona and working in the cloud, I love international flavoured collaborations. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French, like to travel and am curious about different cultures. Your project can be discussed in your office enjoying a cup of tea or we can set up a Skype call. There's always a way to communicate!
Skills
In 1998, I earned my bachelors in graphic design in Breda, The Netherlands. Just as the internet bubble formed, I moved to Spain and eagerly studied web design and interfaces on my own. Now, I combine design with teaching, as I love to share my knowledge with students and clients alike. A full work history can be found at MissPixel’s Linkedin profile.
Balance
The joy of work is in the balance: organising and taking care of customers in the user experience field, mathematical challenges in HTML coding and composing bright colourful palettes on screen and paper.
These three perspectives harmoniously come together into one goal: making people happy with useful and beautiful designs. Boy, do I love my job!
