Two curators orchestrate the cadence of Swiss Design Week. They frame each session, keep the discourse precise, and ensure every attendee feels welcomed into the Meridian community.
01
Programme Chair
Helena curates the Meridian narrative, threading together keynotes, ateliers, and residencies. Trained at the Basel School of Design, she works across typography and cultural programming to keep every moment precise and welcoming.
Crafts the macro arc of the week — balancing foundational theory with hands-on practice and ensuring each day unfolds with Swiss precision.
02
Residency Director
Jonas leads the Team Residency experience, supporting product teams as they research, iterate, and ship prototypes inspired by Swiss methodology.
Guides residency cohorts, orchestrates critique rituals, and connects teams with mentors from the Gridline Labs network.
