WHO THE F* IS JORICK?!
THE GUYS FROM THE HEATED CHEESE SLICER, BELIEFF, AND BEPPIE ARE BACK WITH SOMETHING NEW.
Good products start with good ideas. Jorick turns those ideas into something real. We invent, shape and develop new products from the ground up, combining sharp thinking, bold design and practical know-how. From the first rough thought to the details that make a product work, Jorick gets involved, figures it out and gets it done.
Jorick doesn’t do off-the-shelf packages. We jump in where we’re needed — to invent, to design, to deliver, or to take a product all the way from idea to market. Each of our capabilities can stand on its own, or come together when a project calls for it. You bring the challenge. Jorick figures out what it takes to make it happen.
Have an idea, but not sure where to start? Jorick turns rough thoughts into tangible concepts. We brainstorm, sketch, engineer and prototype, helping shape ideas into products that can actually work. From the first scribble to an early prototype, we combine creative thinking with industrial design engineering to figure out what’s possible — and what’s worth pursuing.
A great product needs to look the part. Jorick creates the visual language around a product, from its overall aesthetic to the details people actually see and touch. Think product design, branding, packaging, graphics, renderings and product presentations. We make ideas look clear, distinctive and ready to show to the world.
Getting a product designed is one thing. Getting it made and into the real world is another. Jorick handles the messy middle: finding the right production partners, figuring out sourcing, coordinating manufacturing, assembly, transport and logistics, and getting the finished product where it needs to go. We don’t just hand over the design and walk away. We help get shit done.
We reinvented the cheese slicer - with heat. And we won some prizes with it. Check out more to see how we used thermal engineering for a better user experience.
Disciplines: DFMA, injection molding, inventive problem solving
Jorick did a clean and modern redesign for the packaging of a heated blanket, keeping in mind diecuts, information distribution, and manual.
Disciplines: packaging, graphic design

Jorick is two people with a slightly unreasonable amount of experience making things happen. We’ve been working together for over 10 years, and we’ve each spent around 15 years designing, developing and bringing products to life. Along the way, we’ve started businesses, built products, worked with manufacturers, launched ideas into the real world and even ended up on national television with one of our inventions.
Now we’re putting all of that experience into one place. Jorick is deliberately small. Just the two of us. No layers of account managers, no army of juniors and no passing your project down a chain of command. You work directly with the people doing the work — from the first idea to the finished product.
We combine industrial design, engineering, creativity and entrepreneurship to turn ideas into things that actually exist. We challenge concepts, solve problems, build prototypes, make products look good and figure out how to get them made. And when something needs doing, we tend to just get on with it.
With a background in industrial design engineering and a slightly dangerous belief that almost anything can be made, Joran is the creative brain behind Jorick. He turns vague ideas into sketches, concepts and working products — always looking for a smarter, simpler or more interesting way to make things work. Joran has developed multiple patented products and is happiest somewhere between a blank sheet of paper and a prototype on the workbench.
Rick is the do-er behind Jorick. With over 10 years of experience starting, building and running product-focused businesses, he knows that a good idea is only worth something when it gets out into the world. From suppliers and production to sales, partnerships and everything in between, Rick makes things happen — and keeps things moving when they inevitably get complicated.
You don’t need a finished plan, technical drawings or a perfect pitch. A rough idea is enough to get started. Tell us what you have in mind, leave your details, and we’ll take it from there.
Leave your details and give us the short version. What’s the idea? What are you trying to create? No need to overthink it.
We’ll schedule a first digital introduction. We want to hear more about your idea, but just as importantly, we want to get to know you.
We take your idea to the team, challenge it, and explore possibilities. Then we meet again—online or in Amsterdam/Groningen—to discuss the way forward.
Together, we turn the idea into a clear plan of action. What are we building? Who does what? What are the next steps? A plan we can actually execute.
Everyone on board? Then we get started. You bring the idea. We make it happen.
