Hi! My name is Jordy Oplaat,  industrial designer with an entrepreneurial mindset. I get excited to create impactful products for complex challenges in which multiple stakeholders, societal developments and emerging technologies come together successfully. I believe products, tools and services should act as enablers, helping people to get the best out of life while creating value for all parties. In this way, true impact can be realised.

I do this by utilising my knowledge of (product) design, innovation and searching for collaboration with other disciplines.  This defines my approach: hands-on, iterative and experimental. In my opinion key for the fast-changing world.

I am pragmatic, and through my professional career, I developed an analytical attitude. Being pragmatic and critical helps me to break down challenges and stay focused on a defined goal, while the iterative design process allows me to pivot quickly if necessary.

For me, challenges and keep learning is important to me, to grow both profesionally and personally. Being curious, motivated and proactief helps me with this, ofcourse with a positive attitude.
