Ikigai Audio

IKIGAI Audio, founded in 2018 by Jeffrey Dam, has a compelling story rooted in his deep passion for audio, installed by his father even before he could walk. Growing up, Jeffrey’s fascination with sound led him to build speakers during his teenage years and focus on audio-related projects throughout his high school physics assignments.

With a clear vision of combining electrical engineering and product design, Jeffrey pursued Industrial Product Design during his academic years. He honed his skills during his tenure at Kharma, for designing speaker systems and cables, where he gained profound knowledge in high-end audio. And four years later at Philips, particularly in the professional camera division, where he gained invaluable expertise in contact transitions, EMI/RFI, and high-speed, wide-bandwidth connections over extended distances.

While working at Philips, Jeffrey also shared his knowledge by delivering lectures to engineering students at the University of Applied Sciences. This experience eventually led him to transition to full-time teaching at HZ UAS in Vlissingen.
