Thank you for taking the time to open this portfolio.
I would like to introduce myself. I am Joris Raaphorst, a passionate
young Design Engineer with a ton of enthusiastic energy and
ambition. Since my youngest years my dream was to become an
inventor, balancing dreaming and making.
Not only should products look amazing but developing a good
product can amplify people’s ability to improve their and others
life. Considering the whole chain from material choice,
production, transport, and circularity. I strongly believe that we
have the responsibility to improve the way consumers can use and
choose products.
During my years of study and work I have come to know myself
better and worked improving my skills and character. With a wide
spectrum of interest, a strong work ethic and a rigorous curiosity I
have learned about many work field, domains and capabilities.
My main desire is to connect stakeholders, strategically build
bridges and inspire with creativity while keeping technical and
financial feasibility in mind. One day I hope to grow into a position
where I can support, consult or lead a team that allow clients to
dream and help them bring their dream to life.
Innovation being the keyword, I love to develop and guide the
process behind a creative project. Maintaining flexibility and
assuring a successful outcome with profitability for all parties.
Enjoy flipping through this portfolio and let’s cooperate!
Joris Raaphorst
