Kars Alfrink
Dutch interaction designer, martial arts enthusiast, fortean, and all-round geek.
In his freelance practice, Kars Alfrink straddles the line between interaction- and game design. He thinks play is a crucial characteristic of any meaningful user experience and pursues projects that help him test this belief. Kars has designed social web applications, casual mobile games and multi-touch systems.
Besides designing, Kars enjoys teaching at the Utrecht School of the Arts. Currently, he is coaching a group of graduate students who are developing innovative social games for a leading mobile phone manufacturer.
In his spare time, Kars practices a traditional Japanese martial art, and tries to keep up with geek culture.
