Hi I am Simon Merath, a German multi-dimensional designer and creative director driven by passion — and fuelled by curiosity. I work at the intersection of technology, diverse society and Future Aesthetics with teams of like-minded individuals.
With a background in human-machine interaction, visual design and software development, my work offers new perspectives on the power of design. Using project management, team coordination, concept workshops and a range of design thinking methods - combined with inspiration from nature's ecosystems, I seeks to take responsibility for global issues.
Multi dimensions and fancy machines are my tools to create innovative versions of reality and hyper-digital experiences that solves problems, seize opportunities and inspire.
My goal is to find the harmony between complexity, diversity and imagination in order to shape a multi-layered and hopeful futures together - and having fun while doing so.
I help companies to transform visions into tangible experiences.
As a designer with expertise in human-machine interaction, visual design and software development, I bring fresh perspectives that inspire. With 10+ years of experience working in the creative industry, I translate complex ideas into tangible experiences.
Expertise – visualizing complexity
Through project management, user experience, and future-oriented thinking, I aim to address global challenges responsibly — working closely with departments such as Strategy, Innovation, R&D, Marketing, and In-house Design.

Dedication and passion for design
Designing is a continuous journey of exploration and creative expression. A commitment to refining skills, drawing inspiration from the world around us, and pushing the boundaries of possibility.
From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by systemic design and narratives - two passions now deeply intertwined.
