Summary
I am a Designer with 5+ years of working experience at the intersection of design, strategy, and research.
My name is Simon Gwinner. I was born in 1991 as a franco-suisse child of the sun growing up close to the mountains and becoming what I am today while living in different communities on the internet.
When not working on client projects, I further explore some of my own ideas & concepts about social & technological structures, cultural dynamics, potential futures, and contemporary pop music.
I intend to always design for and with culture to craft beautiful but also meaningful products, services & experiences that have an impact on people. I have a desire to learn new tools & methods, dive into (unknown) territories, and I am always curious to listen to other people's ideas & opinions.
I also consider myself a dedicated dreamer. I dream every day, every second. Some dreams influence my ideas, speculative stories and prototypes, some other dreams I try to put into a visual context that (hopefully) inspires, and some (weird) dreams I keep for myself (on purpose).
