PERSONAL PROJECT
Happiness is a powerful emotion that influences many aspects of our lives, affecting our well-being, relationships, and overall sense of fulfillment. The factors that shape our happiness are varied, from social connections to personal achievements, and can differ greatly depending on where we live.
As part of a monthly data visualization challenge, this project represents the level of happiness across Europe in 2024, highlighting which age group is the happiest. The data is clustered by regions—Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Europe—allowing for a comparative look at how happiness levels vary across the continent. This visualization offers a deeper understanding of regional differences and provides insights into which age groups report the highest levels of happiness in each area, reflecting the diverse factors that contribute to emotional well-being across Europe.
2024 | MANIFESTO DELLE MERAVIGLIE
PERSONAL PROJECT
A miracle is often thought of as an extraordinary event that defies explanation, but its true power may lie in our ability to believe in the good around us. By cultivating a mindset that embraces positivity, we can manifest better thoughts and, in turn, invite a happier life.
The poster for BAM Circus – Il Festival delle Meraviglie embodies this notion with a design reminiscent of a calendar, where each day represents the potential for a miracle. Instead of waiting for the exceptional, it urges us to see every day as an opportunity to do good, spread kindness, and generate a bit of positive magic. Through this visual concept, the poster serves as a reminder that happiness is not just about grand, extraordinary moments but in the small, intentional actions we take daily, which collectively create something truly remarkable and transformative.
2023 | WEATHER IMPRESSION
PERSONAL PROJECT
Global warming is significantly impacting the Earth’s climate, causing rising temperatures and more extreme weather patterns. As part of a monthly data visualization challenge, this project examines the weather forecast over one week and how I personally perceive the temperature changes. The graphic presents hourly data on actual temperature and perceived temperature, along with my location each day, and the times of sunrise and sunset. By collecting personal data day by day, the project highlights how these factors shape my daily temperature experience. This approach provides an intimate and subjective perspective on weather patterns, illustrating the personal impact of climate change. The resulting visualization offers a unique way to understand the connection between objective temperatures and individual perceptions, showing how global warming affects our daily lives.
2023 | STRESS TRIGGERS IN A WEEK
PERSONAL PROJECT
Stress is an inevitable part of our daily routines, influenced by various factors that shape our mental and emotional well-being. As part of a monthly data visualization challenge, this project explores the triggers of stress experienced over a week, categorizing them into five groups: duties, emotions, personal challenges, noise, and others. The visualization captures these stressors chronologically, documenting each day to reflect how they unfold and accumulate throughout the week. The stress level for each trigger is determined subjectively, based on personal feelings and perceptions, offering an intimate and honest snapshot of how external and internal factors impact our lives. This visual representation not only highlights patterns but also serves as a tool for understanding and managing stress more effectively.
2022 | NEPRAVDA (DOCUMENTATION)
DEGREE PROJECT

UNIVERSITY PROJECT
The rebranding of the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar is inspired by Walter Gropius’s concept of modularity, later advanced by Bauhaus pioneers like Marcel Breuer, Josef Albers, and László Moholy-Nagy. The new identity embodies the Bauhaus ethos of uniting form and function while celebrating adaptability and innovation. A modular design system allows for a playful, dynamic presentation of the museum’s collection, offering limitless possibilities to showcase its iconic artworks and design pieces. Geometric elements, inspired by Gropius’s vision, can be rearranged, resized, or recombined, mirroring the principles of modular architecture. This interactive and versatile visual identity invites audiences to engage with the Bauhaus legacy, capturing the creativity and experimentation that defined the movement. The result is a flexible, contemporary branding system that honors the enduring influence of Bauhaus on modern design and art.
UNIVERSITY PROJECT
Illumini is a unique wall lamp composed of multiple small LED lights, designed to signal presence and foster connection between distant individuals. Functioning through an intuitive app, Illumini creates a network among users, offering them the ability to interact and feel connected despite physical distance. At its core, the project aims to emphasize human presence and create a sense of community. Each lamp represents a shared space within the Illumini network, akin to a bustling city with its residents. When someone is at home, the lamp illuminates one of its LED lights, symbolizing their presence. As more users return home, additional lights turn on, visually representing the number of people connected and present within the network. Illumini not only serves as a functional lighting solution but also as an artistic expression of togetherness, transforming simple light into a meaningful interaction.
