CromiaDynamica
Bachelor work
2023
Color-changing textile research inspired by cephalopod camouflage, combining biomimicry with programmable design. Using non-emissive thermochromic liquid crystal inks, the garment reacts to inputs, exploring themes of anonymity and adaptation.
Designed in CLO 3D and coded with Arduino, it showcases the potential of responsive textiles in wearable form.
Wide LegCommisioned work
2025
Wide Leg is a commissioned garment design focused on achieving an elegant, well-draped silhouette with a wide-leg cut that flows naturally from the waist to the floor. To ensure both time efficiency and material optimization, the design process was carried out primarily in CLO 3D, allowing for precise virtual prototyping and minimal fabric waste. The client requested a refined, comfortable fit that accentuated the waist while maintaining fluid movement through the desired shapes that were met through careful digital tailoring and fabric simulation.
Tana Cafe BaliBranding & Social Media
2022 - Present
Tana Café is a graphic design and branding project inspired by the warmth and casual spirit of hanging out. Commissioned by the café owner, the project aimed to refresh the brand’s visual identity and create a more engaging, inviting atmosphere through design. Deliverables included posters and Instagram Stories, crafted to communicate the café’s cozy yet vibrant character. The visual direction focused on making Tana Café feel like a lively and welcoming space, using warm tones, playful layouts, and clear messaging to connect with its audience.
Motion Type
Kinetic Type Exploration
2024
Motion Type is an experimental typography project I developed during my studies, exploring kinetic design through motion graphics. Using Adobe After Effects, i created a dynamic poster that transforms static text and letters into an expressive, moving visual—conveying emotion, rhythm, and energy through animation and effects.
Mixed Media AnimationStop-motion study
2023
An exploratory stop-motion animation that fuses analog collage, hand-drawn frames, and digital compositing. Layered paper cut-outs, found objects, and photographic fragments are captured frame by frame to evoke themes of fragmentation and metamorphosis. Post-production in After Effects and Photoshop refines timing, color grading, and visual effects.
Revolving TextBlender Study
2023
A Blender experiment where 3D letters orbit a central axis using Array and Curve modifiers. Cycles lighting and Video Sequence Editor compositing add depth and polish to create a seamless rotating loop.
Umkrempler 2k-5Live Performance
MXL - Sound of Silence
KISD
2024
Developed as part of the course Sound of Silence – Beyond the Audible Dimensions of Sound at TH Köln, Umkrempler 2k-5 is a performative installation created under the guidance of Prof. Nina Juric and Canadian artist Darsha Hewitt.
At its core is a dystopian karaoke machine that critiques algorithm-driven culture by allowing the machine to generate prompts and lead the performance. Through the interplay of sound, visuals, and live interaction, the work explores control, repetition, and the blurred boundaries between human agency and machine instruction. Analog delay systems and modified tape technology enhance the immersive experience with distorted, looping audio—creating a space where algorithms take the stage.
Chamber of NarcissusInteractive Installation
RoboLab - Odonien
2022
As part of RoboLab at Odonien—a collaborative exhibition merging art and technology under the guidance of San Francisco-based artist Kal Spelletich—our group presents Chamber of Narcissus, an interactive and inclusive sculpture.
Programmed with Arduino, the installation uses a sensor to detect when someone steps inside. In response, a motor activates, rotating four large mirrors around the viewer while ambient music fills the space. The result is a gentle, immersive experience where movement and reflection evoke a quiet emotional resonance.
Designed to be barrier-free and accessible to all, Chamber of Narcissus invites introspection through technology—transforming a fleeting moment into a personal encounter with the self
Brainwasher - Massive SupernovaAudio & Video
KISD
2021
A collaboration among five KISD students of a music video project, portrays a protagonist's enchanting flight into a vibrant fantasy realm. Through mystical encounters with distinct band members, embodying various elements of this world, she undergoes a transformative evolution into a fantastical creature, symbolizing her profound immersion.
Developed using Adobe After Effects and Premiere, the production expertly melds dynamic visuals and special effects, artfully crafting a surreal exploration of identity and imagination.
Living FurnitureInteractive Design
KISD
2021
An interactive design piece that brings nature into urban living spaces to enhance well-being. Inspired by aquascaping, it combines mid-century and past-future aesthetics with live plants and sensory technology. Electrical signals from the plants are detected and translated into sound using MIDI, allowing users to interact with nature through touch and sound—creating a calming, immersive experience in environments where access to nature is limited.
Symbiosis DelightInstallation
KISD
2023
Symbiosis Delight is an engaging installation for the yearly Museumsnacht event in Köln, featuring an interactive dialogue between Living Furniture and a round table with water. The Living Furniture translates plant signals into ambient sounds, while exciter speakers below the table create vibrational waves in the water when the plants are touched. This fusion of nature and technology offers a mesmerizing experience, showcasing their symbiotic relationship.
Type 5Product Design Study
KISD
2022
This work focused on designing a lamp that features basic geometric shapes with a space-era aesthetic, inspired by iconic designs like Joe Colombo’s ‘Lampe de Table Mod’ and the ‘Two Raak Glass Fume Floor Lamp.’ The lamp balances form and function, showcasing sleek lines and innovative materials, serving as both a light source and a statement piece. The design showcases sleek lines and a modern aesthetic, reflecting contemporary design trends while nodding to past influences.
Délusi - AnetteAudio & Video
