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).

Skills

  • Facilitate Usability Testing & User Feedback Sessions To Continuously Iterate And Test Concepts And Ideas.
  • Build Information Architectures, User Flows, Frameworks And Design Systems To Design To Make Ideas Tangible Before They Get Built.
  • Define And Create Brand Strategies To Make People Fall In Love With The Products.
  • Design Across Multiple Platforms To Drive Intuitive And Meaningful Omnichannel Experiences.
  • Collaborate With Cross-functional Product & Development Teams To Better Understand Constraints And Requirements And Solve Problems Collaboratively.
  • Define Micro-interactions And Motion In Design To Add A Sparkle Of Emotion & Promote Interaction Patterns.
  • Craft Prototypes From Low-fidelity To High-fidelity Design.
  • Create Speculative & Critical Design Concepts To Explore The Uncertainty Of The Future And Make People Understand What Could Potentially Be.
