Rogier’s exposure to a wide range of industries has helped him develop a good technical mind and the skills needed to rapidly evaluate, manage and solve complex design problems.
Directing the Getsorted Storage programme gave him the opportunity to develop a whole range of interchangeable flat-pack furniture products from start to finish. He oversaw all detailing, travelling to China to quality check the manufacturing process and Adeliade to be involved in the range’s launch to the supplier. The product was launched in both New Zealand and Australian Bunnings supply stores late in 2010 with enormous success.
Sustainability and eco-efficiency play a significant role in Rogier’s day to day life. This is reflected in his design process as he discovers innovative ways to improve systems and create the smartest outcome to positively benefit the end user and cause the least impact on the environment.

His lateral minded and efficient work ethic make him a valuable and creative member of the Locus Research team. His ability to work and lead in a team environment is strengthened by his experience and passion on the football field.
His exposure to a wide range of industries has helped him develop a sound technical knowledge of product development. He has effective opeartional judgement, and has an eye for detail ensuring the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed.
