Patrick Arthur Donaldson

After finishing his secondary education with a specialisation in physics and chemistry, Patrick decided to go down a completely different path. He went on to study graphic design at the University of Art and Design in Geneva. First completing a Bachelor’s in Visual Communication, he then carried on with a Master’s in Media Design to further push his knowledge of interactive design with new technologies. Patrick is now pursuing the creation of tools that help designers with computers or AI. A research project that gathered interest and got him invited to speak at TedxGeneva. Fascinated by sciences, he will always seek to infuse such interests into his various projects. Self-taught in programming, he is always looking to develop his own tools for creative purposes. As well as being pro-efficient in tools such as the Adobe Suite, the whole generative design approach has allowed him to stand out in his field and view things differently. Working at the intersection of science, programming, and design, his dream is to develop projects that have the potential of positively impacting people in the field of education and/or entertainment.

Yoann Douillet

Yoann is above all a curious designer: he likes to explore and discover new digital and hybrid interfaces, as well as to create and design engaging, fun, or even completely absurd objects, interfaces and experiences. After various experiences in industrial design, he was able to adapt his skills to develop a hybrid profile that fits perfectly into the movement of a more digital design. Scientific, artistic and versatile, Yoann is sensitive to design research and user-oriented design. He was able to develop his skills and expertise at HEAD Geneva, EPFL and ECAL. In order to maintain an academic and innovative approach, as well as to share his knowledge, Yoann is currently collaborating with the HEIG-VD on research projects at the Institute of Media Engineering, and teaches various courses related to UX, design fiction and tangible interfaces.
