About SWL

SWL is the one-man shop of Denis Somar.  I'm a multidisciplinary designer & product manager focused on building connected products, services, and interactive experiences. I’m passionate about creating meaningful work of enduring value – work that makes an unforgettable contribution to people’s lives, big or small.

I love great design and I've had the pleasure of working with many talented people alongside some incredible companies – including Flight Club, The Estee Lauder Companies, The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, AXA Equitable and a few others.

Currently available for new projects.
