Philipp Schmitt

Information

I'm a designer specializing in technically challenging projects that have a positive impact. Currently, I design geospatial software for environmental and civic impact at Element 84.

My past work includes designing and prototyping experimental interaction design concepts and data-driven experiences using large datasets and emerging technologies.

Btw, I'm also an artist. Most other sections of this website are dedicated to that practice.
