Based in Kailua Kona, Hawaii
I have more than two decades experience designing for industry leaders like Apple, Motorola, Google, Skype/Microsoft. My mobile interfaces, messaging experiences, and immersive media have shipped in millions of phones, tablets, and apps. I have mentored new designers in corporate and academic contexts. I also run Studio Resilience, a design lab focusing on social and environmental issues.
Product Designer at Studio Resilience
“Heiko has a special ability for clarity—a knack for cutting through the unnecessary and quickly identifying what does or doesn’t connect. Heiko knows exactly when things are just a bunch of overthinking and a grandiose mess and helps find a useful simplicity in things. Given Heiko's successful and versatile professional experience, I’m not surprised. I truly appreciate how my mentor can listen to a messy brainstorm I’m trying to figure out and then offer a clear, uncluttered overview. I've also gained valuable insights into how things work in the process in the real world. I’m truly delighted to have Heiko as my mentor.”
