Working at 8D means being part of a team that connects content, strategy and creation. We work across disciplines because we only want to create solutions that truly fit the target audience and context. With AI and technology developing at lightning speed, it is more important than ever to create not just anything – but the right thing. Because technically, we can now make almost anything.
This requires a curious and critical attitude. We engage with target audiences, test assumptions and quickly prototype. Sometimes that means swimming against the current. But we only do what we believe in.
“Iedereen bij 8D is enorm gedreven en leergierig – een must in de onderzoeks- en innovatiesector. Eigenzinnig zijn we ook, wat ons helpt om veel voor elkaar te krijgen én veel plezier te hebben.”

“Het leukste aan mijn werk is de variatie aan sectoren waarmee we samenwerken. Elke dag leer ik iets nieuws over het belangrijke werk van bijvoorbeeld zorgprofessionals en onderzoekers, en krijg ik de kans bij te dragen met mijn kennis van design en innovatie.”

More than work
We believe that work should provide not only a salary, but also opportunities to develop yourself further. Together with your colleagues, preferably! By learning from each other – and getting to know each other. That is why we offer the following extras in addition to a competitive salary:
- PDP budget in time and money
- Joint company lunch every afternoon
- Drinks every Thursday during working hours
- Drawing lots with St. Nicholas (hope Bas doesn’t have you!) and a cozy Christmas party
- 5 weeks off a year + public holidays paid time off
(because growth also requires space and rest)
Look, colleagues you do care about

Research in the midst of society
Participatory research can solve three bottlenecks that researchers face: data collection, effective knowledge transfer and dissemination. Potential forms are game-based research and design-based research. We are happy to inspire you with examples from our portfolio.
Effective knowledge transfer: turning research findings into societal value
How can research findings be shared effectively with society? This article explores how participatory design supports effective knowledge transfer by aligning form, content and context. Real-world examples illustrate how design enhances the practical usability of academic insights.
