Why Gravity Sketch

Since becoming a certified trainer and certified expert in Gravity Sketch, I have been teaching design courses in footwear and automotive design at universities in Europe (Zurich, Basel, London and Paris). And there are more to come.

Gravity Sketch: Think in 3D. Create in 3D.


  • Gravity Sketch is a new and efficient approach to realistically sketch, design, develop and illustrate complex shapes and products directly in 3D at 1:1 scale.
  • Gravity Sketch is an intuitive 3D design platform for interdisciplinary teams to create, collaborate and review in a completely new way.
  • Gravity Sketch bridges the gap between sketching and 3D freeform CAD surface modeling.
  • Working at 1:1 scale is powerful, intuitive, realistic and effective.
  • And most importantly, it's a hell of a lot of fun.

About Us

Heiko is a very experienced senior industrial designer. As an Art Center College of Design alumnus in transportation design, Heiko has over 25 years of experience in leading transportation design (Saab, Audi, Porsche) and product design projects. In 2003 he founded his own design studio in Biel Bienne (Switzerland) and cooperates with his friend, Aleks Tatic, who has a design studio in Milano (Italy). (See in "Network")

Heiko is a hands-on designer with a knack for complex 3D freeform modelling on CAD (digital sculptor at Porsche), a form-fanatic and inspired by technology.

His customers are numerous, and there is almost nothing he has not designed in his carreer. Since 2001 he is professor for industrial design at the University of Applied Sciences in Zurich and Basel. If he is not in his studio, you can find him climbing the hills with his mountain bike or he is shredding down the Alps on skis.

He has been working with Gravity Sketch on customer projects for four years and is an official Gravity Sketch Certfied Trainer and Expert for transportation and product design.
