Roel
Heyninck
Hello, I'm Roel Heyninck*, an Industrial Designer with five years of experience and a proven track record of winning design awards, including the Reddot and Henry van de Velde 24.
As an industrial designer, my passion lies in translating user needs into products that offer enduring and meaningful experiences. My multidisciplinary skills extend from designing products to crafting brand identities and refining user experiences.
While my work is grounded in a deep technical understanding, my approach is more than just making things look good—it's about building connections between objects and their users. I'm an ambitious and human-first designer with a keen eye for good, functional, and aesthetical design.
I approach each project with dedication and a commitment to excellence. My open-minded and entrepreneurial spirit ensures that I'm always exploring new endeavors in the ever-evolving world of design.
Join me on this creative journey, where innovation meets aesthetics, and each project is an opportunity to tell a compelling and unique story.
