Connected by Design
Sense what’s less than wonderful to define the canvas. Perception is the palette — paint with l⦿ve, j⦾y, and mean⋮ng.
Who’s This For?
For businesses that want to brand their customer and employee experiences with l⦿ve and del⋮ght.
Whakami consults on how to create j⦾y (=mental states of mindfulness & presence) by design — right where it matters most.
Don’t look for fitting boxes.
Let’s extend the canvas.
Whakami | Silvia Geßner
smART Transitions Artist
Whakami began exploring design as a competitive advantage early on, with her master’s thesis in economics on Apple Inc. (2005).
She managed digital projects as a freelancer—from brand communication, over software development to content marketing—for clients including Beiersdorf (SkinlyAI, Skin Coach), Jung von Matt TECH (VisualVest, Bosch, Vodafone, Mercedes-Benz, and others), RNRA (Telekom), Gruner+Jahr (Bosch), thjnk (RWE, Henkel), PuK (Holsten, Astra, Audi), and many more.
Motherhood led her to become a certified resilience coach, and to learn about neurodivergent differences & needs, as well as the functioning of the brain’s awareness filter. Fascinated by the potential to foster connectedness through design with the side effect of supporting mental & physical health.

Design Strategist.
→ Enrich customer and employee experiences with an intangible but mean⋮ngful layer of connectedness — by design.
