Joris Wiersinga was born in 1973 in Arnhem, the Netherlands. He has been designing games since he was a kid, selling his first computer game at age 14 and his first card- and board games a few years later. Together with Jeroen Doumen, Tamara Jannink and Herman Haverkort he founded Splotter Spellen, which has published a number of games listed on the Geek.
Joris' main interest lies in complex economic board games. His favourite non-splotter game is probably still 1830, although it's been a long time since he played it...
Outside of Splotter, Joris creates computer games for physical rehabilitation of elderly people with his company SilverFit. He has also created a number of games for professional use in change management and lean operations transformations.
