Our Story

From a studio of three to a team of forty.

Professional Designers was founded in 2012 by Marc Clément, a former CTO at SIX Group, with a simple belief: enterprise clients deserved the same craft and attention to detail that the world's best product studios gave to consumer software.

Starting with a team of three in a co-working space on Bahnhofstrasse, we quickly gained the trust of Switzerland's most demanding corporations — Allianz, Novartis, and ABB among our earliest clients.

Today, we are 40+ specialists across engineering, design, and digital strategy — serving enterprise clients across 18 countries from our Zurich headquarters, with remote delivery capabilities worldwide.

2012 — Founded in Zurich with 3 team members
2015 — First Fortune 500 engagement (Allianz Switzerland)
2018 — Expanded to 25 team members. ISO 27001 certified
2021 — Launched Enterprise SaaS division
2024 — Declared Carbon Neutral. 40+ team members
2026 — AI Design Suite launching Q3. 200+ clients

Our Values

How we show up every day.

The principles that guide every project, every client relationship, and every hire we make.

Precision over speed

We refuse to ship work we aren't proud of. Every pixel, every line of code, every strategic recommendation is held to an exacting standard.

Radical transparency

No surprises. No hidden fees. No scope creep without mutual agreement. Our clients always know exactly where their project stands.

Partnership, not vendor

We operate as an extension of your team. We push back when we disagree, celebrate your wins, and are genuinely invested in your success.

Sustainable by default

Carbon-neutral since 2024. We host on green servers, offset team travel, and build performance-optimized products that use less energy.

Security-first mindset

Every engagement begins with a signed NDA. Every product ships with GDPR compliance, penetration testing, and a security audit built in.

Relentless innovation

We invest 20% of our internal capacity in R&D — from AI tools to emerging design systems — so our clients always have access to the cutting edge.

Leadership

The minds behind the work.

Our leadership team brings decades of enterprise experience from SIX Group, Zurich Insurance, Google, and global financial institutions.

Life at PD

A culture built to last.

We believe the best work comes from happy, growing people. Here's what it actually feels like to work here.

🎯

Deep work, not busy work

We have no-meeting mornings. No status updates for the sake of it. Our team spends the majority of their week doing the actual craft — designing, building, strategizing.

🌍

Remote-flexible

Our Zurich office is beautiful. It's also optional three days a week. We hire brilliant people and trust them to decide where they work best.

📚

CHF 2,000 learning budget

Every team member gets a personal development budget annually — for conferences, courses, certifications, or books. No approval required.

🏔️

Annual company retreat

Every year the whole team gathers somewhere beautiful in Switzerland or Europe for three days of strategy, workshops, and mountain hiking.

💡

20% innovation time

One day per week is yours for internal projects, open-source contributions, or that wild idea you've been wanting to explore. We fund the ones that show promise.

🤝

Diverse by design

Our team represents 12 nationalities and 5 disciplines. We believe diverse perspectives are a competitive advantage, not a compliance exercise.
