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. She is fascinated by the potential to foster connectedness through design with the benefits of supporting mental & physical health.
As a smART Transitions Artist Whakami
