Julien Ayer is an industrial and product designer based in Switzerland. Born in 1980 in Fribourg, he graduated from ECAL (École cantonale d’art de Lausanne) in 2004. He first worked there as an assistant in the Research & Development and Industrial Design departments, before teaching 3D modeling and computer-generated imagery for eight years.

In parallel, he joined the design office Multiple SA, where he spent 15 years, including two as co-director. He also broadened his experience through a one-year collaboration with Jörg Boner Productdesign.

In 2025, drawing on this background, he founded Julien Ayer Studio. Based in Fribourg, the studio supports companies, startups and independent creators in developing innovative, functional and sustainable products from early ideas to industrialization.

Julien is committed to combining technical precision, aesthetic sensibility and sustainable thinking to design products that are relevant, refined and timeless.
