To celebrate our launch, we’re taking on a hundred projects.
Heifen is a new design studio in Amsterdam. Instead of a launch party, we’re making things: websites, shops, platforms and automations, for anyone with something worth making, each one becoming a piece of Heifen.
A restaurant, a shop, a practice, a startup, or the idea you’ve been sitting on for years. The next one could be yours.
Elevated by innovation.
We work with businesses that would rather lead than follow, and lift what they do with new ideas, carefully built. Here’s a taste of what we’ve made, and what people now use every day.
ZUSHI
Amsterdam’s conveyor belt sushi bar on the Amstel, since 1999. A full belt every night and a website that said none of it, so the belt became the site: plates ride past the copy with the menu, booking and take-away on them.
Going round the Amstel since 1999
Book a tableRRC Music Co.
Hip-hop, funk, soul and jazz on vinyl, from a record store, label and distributor in Amsterdam. The owner runs the counter alone, so the shop online has to sell while he is with a customer and feel like crate-digging, not a theme. The whole stock, black on white; hover a sleeve and the real disc slides out.
What we make
Who we are
Heifen is a design studio in Amsterdam. Before this, we spent more than four years helping build the leading AI company in the Netherlands, growing it from 6 to 120 people and working on its biggest software projects. Along the way we found out our real passion is the creative side: making things that look and feel as good as they work. So we started Heifen.
- 01We listen
It starts with where you want to go. We get to know your business, your customers and the ambition behind it before we think about solutions.
- 02We imagine
We come back with a first concept of how you could get there, at no cost and with no commitment. Something you can click through, not a slide deck.
- 03We build
If it fits, we make it real: design and technology together, built properly so it can grow with you. The way we learned building software at scale.
- 04We elevate
A launch is the start, not the finish. We keep improving what we made, learn from how it is used, and look for the next step up together.
