Welcome to my studio!

I am Jasper van 't Wel. Founder of studio Jawel, product designer, inventor and change-maker. My passion is to create meaningful products and interventions with an emphasis on sustainability and social impact.

Some of my dreams and goals in life

People who know me will tell you that I'm alway thinking of new things. I have strong beliefs on environmental and social topics that I believe should be changed. You can read some of the topics I care deeply about below.

Do you want to help me change the world? Get in touch!

Changing "single use product" systems to circular ones

To produce a product to be thrown away is criminal and is hurtful for the environment.

I have already initiated a project to encourage reusing grocery bags. This grabbed the attention of the Albert Heijn with who I'm now working towards a solution.

Making (free) personal hygiene products a basic human right

Hygiene products like tampons, menstrual pads or cups are primary needs. They should be available for everyone who needs them. Making underage girls pay for these necessities themselves is something that infuriates me.

If you know how I can help to change this system please get in touch.

Giving homeless people chances for jobs

Every person sleeping in the streets is a person too much. It's very hard for someone in a tough situation to reach out for free stuff. It feels humiliating. If you stop and talk to them, they most likely would love to talk to you. They had things they liked to do. Like gardening or building stuff. We should give these people the tools and opportunities to do what they love and provide for themselves.

Less emissions through over sea shipments

A big part of CO2 emissions world wide are caused by big cargo ships. They are equipped with 40 year old engines that burn the most polluting oil possible. Growing and producing products locally can help reduce these emissions. That’s why I love working with my dutch manufacturing partners. I would love to do more on this topic.

Protein transition

By far the biggest part of the CO2 emissions in the meat industry are caused by feeding animals. It takes a lot of food and water to raise an animal for consumption. This is something that keeps my thinking of possible solutions. One day I would love to work on an insect eating campaign or product.

Mens mental health

There's a change going on where men its more socially acceptable for men to talk about their feelings and emotions. I want to contribute to this goal and break norms about men having to be tough all of the time.

We are in this together, all of us. Lets see how we can help each other.

Improving sleep by science

I'm fascinated with sleep, and how much, but still how little we know about it. I've designed a website together with Huibert Harteloh. (www.slaapoplossingen.nl) Here we will be posting blogs about how we can improve sleep, based on peer reviewed science. Written for everyone to understand.

Helping people with disabilities live life to the fullest.

I'm working on a passion project where I help someone with arthritis play golf again. I'm doing this by creating personalised grips for her. We are still experimenting with this but some day I hope to bring the solution to market.

I would love to work on more projects regarding this theme.
