During the  2 months of lockdown our friend and filmmaker Susanne Opstal asked us to film snippets from our lockdown life. She not only asked us, but she asked people from all over the world to film there lives indoor, the empty streets and way more.

The night that looked like day

The result is a beautifully designed movie that leaves you with goosebumps. The blending of all the different little videos from all over the world was done with some amazing grace! Look carefully to see our part. Read more about the project at thenwewokeup.com

To us this what good and relevant design or design thinking can also looks like. Design doesn’t need to be a product it can be a movie that gives you trills in a good way. This film is a solution to the challenge “How can we show the different points of view from people during the pandemic around the world?”

What if everything you are used to, changes in a blink of an eye? Seventy five filmmakers all over the world worked together to capture our current reality. To show we are united as one, anywhere in the world. https://www.thenwewokeup.com/

We are happy this beautiful shot of our son made it into the movie.

Jeroen Spoelstra

I am a passionate designer and mountain biker focusing on bringing people forward using a human centered approach. As a designer you could call what I do Social Design, but nowadays there are hundreds of different design names. So for me I am a designer and try to be humble to the world. I like solving issues together with other people in co-design and I love helping people reach there goals.

I find inspiration in mountain biking, traveling and in my current home the Spanish Pyrenees. I use sports, traveling and being outside to get inspired for my work as a designer.

Design to me is constantly shitifing between making meaningful products to creating impactful and real solutions/ approaches/ business that can make a difference.

The Design profession shouldn’t solely be reserved for the designer (in developed world), but for everyone! I design for impact and help people bring out their little designer in himself or herself. I am not saying everyone should become a designer, but I do think people can use a little bit of design to help themselves forward in their personal/ professional life.
