Top SchoolDaniel Swakman is a design leader with 11 years of experience shaping product, brand and web experiences across startups and larger platforms, currently leading UX at HERE Technologies from Berlin.

His work blends meticulous craftsmanship and accessible, multi-client design systems with strategic brand thinking, driving product redesigns and organizational change. A serial freelancer and community builder (co-organiser of Berlin’s Designers Circle), he is adept at translating architectural thinking into coherent interaction languages and repeatable design frameworks. Notably, he brings an urbanist’s systems perspective from an MSc in Architecture & Urbanism to digital product challenges, giving him a distinctive lens on spatial and systemic user experiences.
