Hello, olá—about Wilson Gheur
I’m a graphic and interactive designer deeply connected to all things creative. From concert posters to websites, from books to complex interactive projects, I’ve spent my career merging my love for art, history, and technology into professional designs.
A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
My design vision is influenced by a diverse range of sources: Toulouse Lautrec’s posters, the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans and F1 cars from the seventies, Saul Bass’s extensive portfolio, films by Bergman, Kurosawa, and Tarkovsky, Herb Lubalin’s groundbreaking typography, Moebius, Pop Art, road signs—these, and so much more, guide my creative approach. Add the precision of Swiss Graphic Design mixed with the rebellious aesthetics of David Carson, Vaughan Oliver, and Chris Ashworth, and you’ll get a sense of what design means to me.
But I'm always on the hunt for what's next. When used right, technology can expand the limits of creativity. This belief led me to graduate in Interactive Design at the Academy of Art University, in San Francisco, CA, and fully embrace the digital world at the start of my career. In recent years, I’ve been avidly exploring the intersection of AI and design—not just to stay current and relevant but to forge my way forward toward the future of design.
Designer, Surfer, and Environmental Advocate
When I’m not immersed in design, you’ll often find me heading to the coast to catch some waves or exploring new surroundings, whether it’s the natural landscape or some hidden corners of the city. This is where and when I put it all together, personally and professionally—for me, to feel connected to the environment is a crucial, unavoidable part of the creative process. And it's a theme that often finds its way into my work. Whether through sustainable design practices, advocating for remote work to reduce our carbon footprints or simply cleaning the beach where I just had a surfing session, I'm focused on making a positive impact.
Connect
I'd love to connect with others who are on the same path. Whether you're a fellow designer, a potential collaborator, or someone who appreciates good design, I'm always up for a chat. Let's create.ABOUT THIS SITE
