Jan-Simon Veicht is a designer, strategist and educator dedicated to precision and simplicity, crafting solutions that bridge complexity and clarity. With 15 years in design, he has navigated the worlds of luxury consumer goods, furniture, UI/UX, branding, hardware design, and corporate sustainable innovations, transforming abstract ideas and concepts into tangible success stories. His advocacy for beauty and sustainability threads through each design choice, with a particular focus on Color, Material, and Finish (CMF). Deeply intrigued by the transformative power of emerging technologies, entrepreneurship and human-centered-design, Jan stands for a world which is not just about aesthetics but about crafting a future where interactions are more meaningful, sustainable, and functional. Beyond his professional projects in corporate innovation and as design consultant, he is committed to cultivating the next generation of entrepreneurs, designers and changemakers. As a lecturer and mentor, Jan has shared his passion for sustainability and innovation insights with students at the University of California, Berkeley, where he holds a Master’s in Design for Emerging Technology and serves as a Design Fellow at the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation.

Currently, he works as Head of Design & Innovation at Schoolab in San Francisco, a global innovation consulting company, leading corporate strategic foresight projects, integrating Gen AI into design operations, and building out design practices across the US, Europe, and Asia.
