About Jurjen Verhagen
I am founder of Zolabo, an Amsterdam based boutique consultancy that designs and builds data-driven digital products. I create visual experiences that lead to a better understanding of markets, organizations and our world with all its challenges. I help your business to work smarter with data. I love to collaborate with fun, smart and entrepreneurial spirits. So, don't be shy and say hi!BackgroundAs an engineering student I explored both physics and civil engineering, but ended up doing what I loved doing from the age of twelve: making apps for the web. I started building my skills professionally working at the internet agency Yuna. Some years later in 2014 I founded Zolabo. With this company I focus at making interactive data visualizations. My role is not strictly a developer or a designer. I combine both skills into something you could call a 'visualization developer' or a 'creative coder'. Driven by curiosity I convert complex data into beautiful and easy to understand visuals. I do this for both local and international clients, which include the UNDP, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Achmea and the International Labour Organization.
