Marc Fischer
Interaction designer, web developer
I’m an Interaction Design student at the Schwäbisch Gmünd University of Design and a passionate skier. During my studies, I combined my love for design and winter sports to create skimap-pro.com – an interactive platform that enables ski resorts to provide their guests with real-time information on lifts, snow conditions, and other important details. My goal: to make the digital experience for skiers and snowboarders simpler and more intuitive.
My journey into design began during my school years when I built my first websites for small projects. Since then, I have continuously expanded my skills in UI/UX design, web development, and media design. I work with tools like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, as well as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Svelte to create functional, appealing, and data-driven digital solutions.
In all of my projects, the user is at the center of my work: How can I make interactions as pleasant and intuitive as possible? This question guided me in the development of skimap-pro.com. The platform combines a clean, user-friendly design with a smart content management system that allows ski resorts to update their data easily – delivering value for both operators and guests.
