About Dirbie

Dirbie started the same way a lot of good things do.
Out of genuine interest, too many ideas, and a lot of time spent on the golf course.

We’re a small team based in Voss, Norway. For more than a decade, we’ve been designing high-performance gloves for photographers through our sister brand, Vallerret. Building gear for cold weather has taught us a lot about materials, durability, fit, and the small details that make equipment level up. Turns out, that’s pretty good training for making golf gloves too.

The second the snow melts and the ski resort closes, we're on the golf course.

And somewhere between late-night design sessions, talk about swing changes, and too many simulator hours, Dirbie started to take shape.

Not because golf needed another stiff brand. Quite the opposite.

We wanted gear that performs properly, feels premium, and looks like someone actually had fun designing it. Gear with a bit of swagger, without taking itself too seriously.

So that’s what we make⛳

MEET THE TEAM

Carl van den Boom

Co-founder | Head of Design & Global Sales| Chief Idea Guy

Hailing from New Zealand, Carl grew up playing golf with his Dad and played a
lot through his youth.

Leaving a Scratch Handicap behind to travel the world, and after a 16-year hiatus, he is back pounding the fairways – and chasing entry spots on the Garmin Norgeskup.

With a background in Architecture and 10 years of experience designing gloves, he’s our product design wizard, the guy who turns wild ideas into actual, wearable magic.

Off the course, he’s dad to three mini humans, and, well.. mostly spends his time trying to get them back to the course.  

Stine Lyng Jørgensen

Co-founder | Head of Marketing & Web

After moving to Voss from Copenhagen, Stine agreed to a “walk” with Carl, but little
did she know they were heading to the golf course.
Claiming not to be a great golfer, it’s the walk, the views, the fresh air, and the social part of it that she likes the most.

Together with Carl, she’s raising two golf-loving girls and one ambitious little boy – the future Dirbie team, currently in training.

Denisa Duca

Customer Success Manager | Zen Master of Customer Satisfaction

Denisa is the calm in our colorful golf storm. The one who makes sure your gear shows up on time, in one piece, and without drama.

A fan of peaceful hikes and "connecting with nature," if there is a golf club in her hand, it’s more than likely to be a putter on the mini golf course.

So if you’re wondering where your package is – relax. Denisa’s on it.

Lukas Riedl

Collab & Community Manager / Golf Sniper with a Camera

Lukas wears many hats and makes every one of them look good. He’s our go-to guy for all things content, collabs, and community, juggling marketing magic, video wizardry, and a dangerously smooth Instagram DM game. If you’ve ever chatted with Dirbie online, chances are you’ve been Lukas-ed – and probably laughed a little more than you expected.

On the course? Don’t be fooled by his
easygoing vibe and German manners. Lukas is a golf junkie with laser focus and a not-so-secret mission: to one day dethrone Carl. Until then, he’s sharpening his swing between drone shots and tee box banter.

Srđan Pešić

Chief Operating Officer | Black Belt in Keeping It Together

Srđan’s our behind-the-scenes force making sure your gear arrives, the wheels don’t fall off, and Dirbie runs smoother than a well-oiled driver.

He’s a double black belt who traded his kimono for golf clubs after Carl’s stories about focus and fairways got under his skin.

Now based in Portugal (hello sun, sea, and
Quinta do Lago), he’s hooked. So hooked, in fact, that he "almost" hit his wife with a shanked shot on her birthday. She got a spa day. He got a new pre-shot routine.

If it works, flows, or ships — Srđan’s the reason why.
