Mathias Mars is a multi-disciplinary designer based in Vienna, Austria, and the creative force behind Hypersquare Design. Notable for his unique ability to blend art, technology, and design, Mathias' studies at Hartmut Esslinger's industrial design studio at the University of Applied Arts Vienna profoundly shaped his approach. Being involved in numerous digital, tech, and communication projects for international clients, his work continually evolves through a commitment to innovation and a hands-on approach that brings imaginative concepts to life in practical, impactful ways.
When I mention that I’m a designer, most people only think of the visual component and overlook the integral framework. To me, designing is an approach of embracing life. Observing, dissecting, and consciously altering the current state of reality. My early fascination for “inventing” grew into something way more significant. As a neurodivergent person, this approach has become my natural way of navigating a world that used to feel overwhelmingly confusing.
In 2024, I launched this website as a platform to publish more about the things that matter to me. This shift of focus and commitment to self-discovery inevitably reminded me of traditional rites of passage, found in various cultures around the globe. Many Native American tribes refer to this practice as a “vision quest” — a journey of seeking personal insight while connecting oneself to the bigger picture. I find it remarkable how separate cultures, across different times and places, have independently developed such a profound and similar understanding of existence. Each offering unique perspectives on the fabric of life.
In the spirit of our collective vision quest, as we navigate times that appear modern, while still echoing the same age-old challenges, I’m eager to pass on my experiences and hope to ignite the same spark in others. Thank you for being here!
