Framer CEO email address: how to reach Koen Bok and Jorn van Dijk

Neither founder publishes an email address. Bok’s website, koenbok.com, says “drop me a line” and links to his X, Telegram and LinkedIn accounts (koenbok.com); van Dijk’s, jornvandijk.com, links to Festina and his writing (jornvandijk.com). Both are most active on X. Framer staff mostly use {first}@framer.com, such as maya@framer.com for a fictional Maya Chen; when a first name is already taken, they usually add the last name: maya.chen@framer.com. Sites built with Framer, on framer.website, framer.app or framer.ai addresses, belong to Framer’s customers, not to Framer.

Who is the CEO of Framer?

Both founders. Bok was Framer’s first CEO and still signs its SEC filings and press releases as CEO. In 2018, with growth stalled, the two swapped jobs, Bok taking over the product and van Dijk the commercial side; “intentional chaos to see what would happen,” van Dijk called it (Foundation Capital). Van Dijk was being described as Framer’s CEO by May 2023, and Framer’s About page now gives each of them the title “Co-founder and CEO”.

Koen Bok

Bok calls himself “half designer, half programmer and a little bit of an entrepreneur.” He founded Sofa, an Amsterdam studio that made Mac apps such as Checkout, Versions and Kaleidoscope and won two Apple Design Awards. Facebook hired the team in 2011, and Bok worked there as a product designer on messages, ads and video. Frustrated at pitching interactive ideas with slides, he wrote Framer.js, and after leaving Facebook in 2013 the pair started Framer around it (Webdesigner Depot).

He led Framer through its design-tool years and, after the 2018 swap, its product, including the 2022 rebuild as a website builder. “We’ve been break-even for the past year,” he said when Framer raised at $2 billion (TechCrunch). He still writes code in public on GitHub, and his LinkedIn lists the University of Amsterdam.

Jorn van Dijk

Van Dijk trained as a graphic designer, at design school for about four years and then at art academy. He joined Sofa as its first employee, four months after Bok started it, and became its art director (Framer). At Framer he ran the product until 2018 and then the business side; he now speaks for Framer on stage and writes about design and AI on his website.

“Taste and quality go hand in hand. With AI, it’s super easy to make something sloppy very fast,” he told Business Insider in September 2025 (Business Insider).

Net worth and age

Neither Forbes nor Bloomberg publishes a net-worth estimate for either founder, and we don’t estimate one; Framer is private, and their stakes aren’t public. Neither has published a birth date or age.

In their own words

“Turns out, building an overnight success takes a lot of time.”

— Koen Bok, September 28, 2023 (X)

“If your site looks too vibe coded, I’m going to assume your product probably is too.”

— Koen Bok, July 11, 2026 (X)

“Most AI design tools give you output you can’t really edit unless you can code. Framer Agents work more like a senior designer would.”

— Koen Bok, June 2026 (CMO Tech)

“Using gives you opinions. Making gives you taste.”

— Jorn van Dijk, April 28, 2026 (jornvandijk.com)

“If you can create something that solves the problem you have, usually that is a pretty good place to start.”

— Jorn van Dijk, SXSW, 2026
