Jasper van der Meer

I design and build product interfaces that feel calm under pressure — design systems, accessible UI, and frontend architecture for teams that care about craft.

About

01

I am a Dutch frontend engineer with eight years of experience across product studios and scale-ups. My work sits between design and engineering: turning ambiguous product goals into systems that stay coherent as teams grow.

Recently I have been focused on design-token pipelines, resilient component libraries, and performance budgets for content-heavy dashboards. I like interfaces that age well — quiet type, clear hierarchy, and motion that explains rather than entertains.

Outside client work I contribute to open-source documentation tooling and mentor juniors through Frontend Nederland meetups.
