Welcome to de Faberiek, your freelance product development company. I'm Thijs Faber, a creative Senior Industrial Designer and Innovation Engineer specializing in industrial design, and engineering. My passion lies in integrating technical expertise and creative design thinking to innovate. De Faberiek leads projects in consumer electronics, micro-mobility, and mechanical products, taking your idea to the next level.

I thrive on solving complex design and engineering challenges, particularly where design, mechanics, and electronics meet. My approach is hands-on, technical, iterative, and thorough. Whether I'm diving into the engineering details, building electronic prototypes, shaping product strategies, or designing aesthetically pleasing designs, I bring a holistic perspective to every project.

With a foundation from a bachelor’s (Industrial Design Engineering) and a master’s (Integrated Product Design) at TU Delft, my decade-plus experience in the entire innovation and product development spectrum has equipped me with a versatile skill set and deep knowledge. Having served as an all-round Industrial Design Engineer at the consumer electronics design agency SLIMDESIGN, and later as an in-house Senior Industrial Designer/Lead Innovation Engineer for e-mobility brand VANMOOF in Amsterdam, I have been at the core of innovations, playing a key role in successfully bringing dozens of products to the market.
