My name is Johan, I’m the Co-founder & Head of Product at Arkio. I was trained as an architect and engineer and strongly believe that immersive technologies will make our design tools more intuitive, collaborative and fun! Before Arkio I was an architect developing design technologies at Mecanoo architects in Delft. I use this blog to share my portfolio, experience and thoughts about design technologies.

Design is a collaborative process that benefits when creative and technical specialists work together in smart virtual environments. Design technologies like building information modeling, computational design, virtual and augmented reality allow designers across the globe to collaborate toward a more humane and inspiring architecture.

I enjoy programming software tools for architects so they can spend less time documenting and drafting and more time designing qualitative and sustainable spaces with their users.

In my spare time I like to travel, bike, read, game and experiment with tech. Contact or follow me on social media if you like to get in touch!
