Create an experience, not software.
Hey, I'm Martijn. I'm a product designer with 12 years of experience creating software interfaces. Currently, I’m a senior product designer at Picqer, working on user interfaces and leading projects alongside our software engineers.
Before joining Picqer, I spent over 6 years running my own business and gained experience working at both small startups and large tech companies.

Experience
I'm currently building warehouse management software at Picqer. Previously, I worked as a product designer at Felyx, developing a shared mobility app. Before that, I worked at Just Eat Takeaway, where I built in-kitchen restaurant systems. At Shopify, I contributed to building their point-of-sale system, and at Seatgeek, I worked on ticketing experiences.
What people say
My experience working with Martijn has been exceptional. Having him be part of my team was amazing - he’s not only a very gifted, skilled, creative and talented designer but was also a huge motivator within our team, collaborative, always there to help and a huge team player. He designs smart user-centric solutions while also thinking about tech and business constraints. Anyone that gets to work with Martijn is very lucky! I would work with him again anytime!

Martijn is a talented designer. While working as a designer at Shopify, he contributed to both existing products and more exploratory projects. I was always impressed by the enthusiasm he brings to his work and his eagerness to take on new challenges. He’s incredibly resourceful and independent in understanding the problem space he’s designing for and in delivering solutions.

UX Lead at Shopify
I look back with great pleasure on two years of working with Martijn on the design of Picqer. Martijn is a designer with an exceptional sense of quality and aesthetics, but what truly sets him apart is his strong focus on the user. For Martijn, design isn’t just about making things look good — it’s about how a product works and whether it truly solves the user’s problem. He had frequent contact with our users and regularly visited customers to deeply understand their context and needs. He was incredibly quick at turning those insights into ideas to improve both functionality and design. Martijn sees the big picture, but he also pays attention to the smallest visual details. He can clearly explain his choices, but doesn’t get stuck in theory — he’s eager to test his ideas in practice as soon as possible to learn and improve. Beyond his skills and expertise, Martijn is simply a great colleague: enthusiastic and easy to get along with. Working with him was not only valuable — it was a lot of fun too.

Martijn designed an app for us focused on road inspection and maintenance. In addition to delivering a strong design, he also brought in the right development partner and smoothly led the project from start to finish. Within just a few months, we had a high-quality app for both Android and iOS phones and tablets — something we’re truly proud of! Martijn is great to work with and collaborates based on trust, which is ideal in development projects. He delivers what he promises.

Martijn gave a visual design lecture and workshop in our first year University Bachelor program Communication Science at the University of Twente. Both the students and academic staff were truly impressed by Martijn's skills and knowledge and his ability to tailor that amount of experience into an understandable presentation. In addition to that, Martijn appears a very pleasant and involved person to work with. To be continued next year. Thanks Martijn!

I had the pleasure of working with Martijn during the development of our smartphone app. Martijn was responsible for the entire visual design and user interface of the app. I really enjoyed working with Martijn and would definitely recommend him. He was able to fully immerse himself in the project, which not only resulted in a beautiful design but also brought valuable practical insights and helpful guidance for the future. I also really appreciated his clear communication and flexible attitude.
