Design Tool

Event Pattern

Pattern-based design systems are ideal for larger projects as they seamlessly adapt to different media and requirements. To give our design team maximum creative control and speed up pattern creation for various aspect ratios and sizes, I developed a web-based tool for setup, randomization, and fine-tuning. File export enables easy handoff to other software. Custom tools like this dramatically accelerate workflows, are intuitive even for non-designers, and help maintain design consistency across larger teams.

Post Digital Work: Exhibiton Communication and Publication Seminar

To promote and document an artistic research project exploring invisible forms of labor in our digital age, I had the pleasure of leading a team of HSBI students in creating a comprehensive design system and multimedia publication.

The exhibition "Post Digital Work," developed within the Digital Media and Experiment program at HSBI's Faculty of Design and Art, presents video works by interdisciplinary students examining how digital technologies have become inseparable from contemporary work life and what new forms of labor are emerging from them.

The resulting publication includes a website and a 160-page book featuring all works, process documentation, and critical essays. Our design concept, "Shifting Focus," uses blur aesthetics to mirror the exhibition's theme of illuminating often-overlooked aspects of contemporary work realities.

Dynamic Vector Blending and Distortion

Every graphic designer loves Illustrator's Blend Tool, which allows you to interpolate between multiple shapes. For a client project, I wanted to adapt this principle but with support for dynamic changes and motion. The resulting script uses noise displacement to distort typography in real time.

Exploring Bézier Grids and Gradients

Simple yet hypnotic. For a coding challenge, I developed this generative animation setup that creates cubic Bézier grids with oscillating proportions and color gradients. The aesthetic draws inspiration from Green Wall Designs' stage visuals for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 and Studio Dumbar's visual identity for Ruhrtriennale 2024. This principle is both straightforward to implement and adapt to different applications, while generating visual entropy that makes for an appealing effect.
