More about me.

I’m Coen. I build physical and digital products and spend too much time thinking about things that do not exist yet.

I also write notes from conversations, mostly because asking better questions changes how I see people, products, and the world around me.

My brain turns almost anything into product or business ideas. Useful at work. Less useful at dinner.

Most days

I work on products before they make sense to everyone else.

That usually means turning vague ideas, doubts,, and opinions into something people can actually build.

I work in different places, but most days you’ll find me at Philips in Eindhoven.

LinkedIn has my full timeline.

When I’m not working

I talk to people, write down what stayed with me, and run around outside because sitting still all day is a terrible idea.

Other days, I try not to turn everything into a project, because life is more fun when you leave some things a little unoptimized.

Now what?

Wanna go for a run, grab a coffee, or discuss an interesting idea?
