01
Hi! My name is Rebecca Giger and I’m a Creative Studio Owner & Web Designer based in Switzerland
02
Outside work you will often find me reading, roaming through a forest, feeding my love for historic & vintage fashion, admiring Old Master paintings or dreaming about renovating an old house.
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually deeply focused on bringing a delightful, calm experience to my clients.
04
My day usually starts with a cup of coffee and watching sunrise with my partner.
05
Most of the time I am working on creating enchanting one-week websites for artisans, makers and design-focused brands.
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
The loading sound of the modem and clunky, uncreative websites
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
Taking designs from mock-up to fully developed site still gives me such a thrill.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
Giving my body and mind a break with a 20 minute yin stretch.
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Editorial. Whimsical. Feminine.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Subtle animations and hover effects
11
What makes your work standout?
I believe in the potential and magic of connecting the digital space with the workshops, ateliers and studios of artisans and makers.
Not only can it be a tool to bring the transformative power of craft to more people, it can also help preserve and make flourish traditional skills and empower the small businesses who practice them.
As a former small product-based business owner myself, understand the struggles of my clients when it comes to setting up an authentic online presence and it allows me to provide them with a more tailored experience.
12
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Mastery comes through constant practice
14
What is your dream website project?
E-commerce or online catalogue for a Swiss or Indonesian artisinal brand
