A course by Gerry Soler
Gerry Soler uses design as a tool to transform how people feel, connect, and grow. With love, intention, and a touch of humor, he seeks to address meaningful topics, spark positive emotions, and create experiences that help others reach their fullest potential. He brings this vision to life by combining emotional sensitivity, hands-on prototyping, and clear strategy.
His work integrates research, storytelling, and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, to build processes that are both efficient and deeply human. He also shares this approach on Designfulness, his educational YouTube channel, where he helps designers think better, work smarter, and design with purpose.
Gerry is a Mexican–Spanish industrial designer with experience in Mexico, Japan, Denmark, and Sweden, and a graduate of the Master’s in Advanced Product Design at Umeå Institute of Design. His work spans consumer electronics, wearables, robotic systems, and sports-related projects. He currently develops projects from Mexico, creating products and experiences that blend design, technology, and a critical lens that challenges taboos and pushes boundaries.
