ABOUT ME
Design isn’t just about aesthetics—it's a way to rethink challenges and find new paths forward. By blending technical expertise, creativity, and strategic insight, I help companies solve complex problems and stay ahead of the curve.
I’m Jeffrey Heiligers, the founder of The Future Prospects Lab, where I use design as a tool to help businesses and institutions rethink their strategies and develop innovative solutions—ones that are both grounded in reality and open to the visionary.
A central thread in my practice is democratising the process—making sure that design is not just something done for people, but with them. Through an inclusive, collaborative approach, I work to make innovation more open, participatory, and accessible to all.
With a background in mechanical engineering and industrial design, I bring a systems-thinking approach to my work. I have a sharp eye for identifying flaws in existing structures, uncovering assumptions, and reframing challenges—bridging analytical insight with creative exploration to unlock new ways of thinking.

How I Work
I collaborate on brief-based projects only. You bring the brief, and I’ll bring hands-on experimentation, strategic thinking, and innovative solutions. My work is guided by a fixed, non-negotiable hourly rate, ensuring that we focus on delivering high-quality results.
