Good (information) design makes life easier

It is our goal at is-design to make it easier for people to perceive, access and understand information that is important to them.

We want to enable people to use products and environments safely and independently. Such as package leaflets for medicines, information that helps them to navigate through an environment, or interaction with technical systems.

"Our motivation is to facilitate understanding. If you easily understand a complex environment like a railway station or the instructions how to take a medicine you feel confident about your own decisions, and you gain confidence in the provider."
Veronika Egger, managing director, is-design.


Information design is the process that turns information to knowledge.
