Team Changefied

We focus on developing gamified solutions for the social domain using virtual reality technology. We recognize that not everyone has enough opportunities to learn and fully participate in all facets of our society. We want to change that with the help of serious gaming!

Our mission is to create equal learning opportunities for everyone, regardless of background or ability. Our solutions empower people to gain new learning experiences, develop skills, and grow at their own pace.

Tim van Dam

CEO

During my career in IT, I've always been passionate about the social aspects of technology. With Changefied, we want to emphasize the positive social impact of technology, with a particular focus on virtual reality (VR) and gamification.

I think it's fantastic that with innovative and creative solutions we can teach people who were previously marginalized skills that allow them to fully participate in society.

At Changefied, we're constantly seeking new opportunities to share our knowledge with those who need it. For us, professional success is inextricably linked to social engagement and the ambition for a truly inclusive society.

Erik Welling

Chief Technology Officer

I was still pursuing my bachelor's degree in Game Technology when I was asked to develop Virtual Public Transport. For me, serious gaming proved to be the ideal bridge between game development and traditional software development. I can work with all the aspects that make game development so enjoyable, while also making a real impact on society and vulnerable groups.

In July 2023, we became independent. It's energizing to see our young company grow and the potential for both Changefied and the people we can help with it.

I have now finished my master's thesis and am almost finished with the master's degree in game & media technology, and I am ready to work even harder on developing our solutions.

Karin Kleingeld

Chief Value Officer

At Changefied, I leverage my extensive experience in value strategy and realization to strengthen our growth and impact. My role involves boosting value growth, moving from strategy to practice, and supporting our mission to develop innovative solutions like Virtual Public Transport. I also bring my expertise in sustainable value growth to Changefied.



I am convinced that our innovative approach and focus on social impact make a significant contribution to the future of education and the self-reliance of vulnerable groups. This commitment reflects my belief that entrepreneurship and social responsibility go hand in hand.

Joke de Haan

Behavioral expert

With a Master's degree in SEN and years of experience as a behavioral specialist, I am passionate about creating learning environments that promote student development.

My work focuses on integrating Gert Biesta's three goal domains: qualification, socialization, and subjectification. I believe that education is not just about knowledge, but also about personal growth and social participation. My mission is to make education meaningful, so that students can develop into active and engaged citizens.



As the founder of Virtual Public Transport, I'm committed to innovative teaching methods that meet the needs of our modern society. Together with Changefied, we strive to make a positive impact in education and contribute to the future of our students.

Thomas Korver

3D Modeler

I was looking for a job in the 3D world where I could indulge my passion for modeling and animation design. I read about Virtual Public Transport in the newspaper and found it immediately fascinating. I was particularly drawn to the educational aspect of the game. I sent an open application to Tim. There wasn't an immediate opening for me, but I was so motivated that I stayed in touch.



I've been the 3D modeler for all of Changefied's games for a while now. I'm thrilled about it! The best part of my job is that it's incredibly varied and I can contribute to all aspects of the projects. This gives me great opportunities to develop further.
