Freitag
Case
Design thinking, co-creation, workshops, IxD, UX design
The Swiss bag company Freitag requested a co-creation project that I lead. I created a roadmap and facilitated the workshop phases for the design process. Together diverse teams identified problems and solutions. In the end, the client team generated and selected the concepts. Together with another designer we brought to concepts to life.

Avnet Ringleader
Case
Digital AD, UX, IxD
The challenge was to create a greater customer loyalty from a demanding technophile target group. I was responsible for the digital art direction & user experience.
Our idea was to create the first NFC ring customer loyalty program in the world. To determine client ring size a special print mailer was developed. Rings were delivered via drone. An app was created to interact with rings during events.
The Result was 42% response rate and lots of advertising awards:
Awards
Golden Award of Montreux Creative Award - Gold
SDV-Award Mailing B2B - Gold
SDV-Award Customer Loyalty Program - Gold
ADC Europe Innovation & Integration - Short List
Best of Swiss Web Innovation - Short List

Smokefree App & Website
Case
Digital CD, UX, IxD
I collaborated with the Swiss government and a small development team to design an app aimed at helping individuals quit smoking. My role in the project was as the UX and UI designer.
The app, known as the "Buddy App," was conceived with the idea of assisting users in their journey to quit smoking by pairing them with a supportive friend. Each user is paired with a buddy who provides encouragement throughout the quitting process.
This pioneering app marks the Swiss government's first foray into such a solution and has garnered a significant number of downloads.
Additionally, I lead the development of the website for the smokefree campaign and the digital advertising.

Socar Rebranding
Case
Brand design, co-branding, sub-branding, workshops
I led a design team in a remarkable rebranding project for a gas station in Switzerland.
Our goal was to create a unique and memorable identity suitable for the Swiss market. I was able to preserve the integrity of the design concept after multiple changes. This was a challenge due to the project's scale and the various stakeholders' needs.
Our efforts culminated in a highly successful rebranding campaign for the Swiss market. What's even more impressive is that our design concept was embraced globally as the new brand identity.
This project encompassed the consideration of various brand structures like sub-brand and co-branding. The creation of a visual identity that worked for gas station architecture, gas pump design, interior shop aesthetics. Designs for signage, iconography, transport vehicle graphics, employee uniforms, and all brand communication.
