MyDearClass
MyDearClass explores how creative coding can be integrated into design practice. Using JavaScript classes as a structural foundation, a p5.js exploration builds a repertoire of handwritten code concepts, deliberately without AI. This restraint acts as a productive constraint: it sharpens understanding of the code and keeps the design process one's own. Code becomes a design tool: modular, traceable, and independent of licensed software.






Unica Family Shop
UFS is a webbased tool designed to showcase the Unica Font Family, using april tags as a physical input, it allows the users to collaboratively design stickers. This project was developed with Robin Schneider (lead art direction & typography) and Nicolas Birrer (lead code structure & Interaction).

ClassMates
This graphical tool was developed using the p5.js JavaScript library. Designed for the desktop 16:9 format, it is web-based. It is an open-source project. This type manipulation tool quickly becomes very abstract, opening up a whole new horizon of graphic compositions.






StrubExtrud
For StrubExtrud, I developed a digital identity based on abstract shapes inspired by 3D printers. To bring the entire identity together, I developed an animated key visual with CSS animations to render the vectors sharply in the browser.



Stick Bug Studio
Stickbug Studio is a kit for building beetles by sticking the pieces together. All of the parts are 3D-printed. I used the silhouettes of the individual pieces to design a poster and created a stop-motion animation to demonstrate how to use the product.




Catapult
Catapult is an organization that supports youth projects in Basel, Switzerland. Using Blender's character rigging tool, I designed an animated poster. The characters form letters. Due to its modularity, it can be used as a complete identity and adapted to different formats.
