eszter imre
designer and ceramic artist
Switzerland"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
I am a driven and passionate designer and visual artist with a multidisciplinary background and years of colourful experience in product design, design management and creative problem solving. With sensitivity and great respect I daily participate in shaping the changing landscape of the international design field for the better.
As a designer I am efficient, creative, reliable; as a person I am curious, trustworthy, witty and full of love for life. I offer a versatile and unusual skill set that is key and crucial to a successful business of our new fast–changing era and digital society.
Such as an inspired eye, compassion and empathy on a personal level; and the exiting combination of manual knowledge of the tangible, user psychology, and solid digital skills with great verbal and visual communication as a professional.
I can bring you the unexpected in many different shapes.
