The Whole Life

Website concept and design for a publishing platform by the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin.

The platform’s experimental design concept centres a networked mapping of contributions, where each is assigned keywords and a respective scale of relation (promixity).

Users can build up, edit and share a custom reading list by selecting individual contributions or wider clusters, expanding their selection into a split-screen or full reader view. The map-reader duality was engaged as an opportunity to propose a more situated and contextual reading experience online.

bus.group

web text video


Website design, project re-production, and copywriting for a creative studio’s inaugural portfolio website.

A motion-driven, mobile-friendly concept for presenting bus.group’s projects was developed through 4:5 and 16:10 formats. Projects playback within a rolling ‘story’, foregrounded against the clean and minimised UI. An index view of projects employs a tag-based search functionality for filtering through the studio’s diversity of output.

Accompanying the design work, I led the reproduction of project material in direction and editing. Furthermore, I developed the studio’s copywriting in strategy and form, establishing a playful but sincere tone for their opening statement as a studio, driven by a headline-format for each project’s narration.

Woolmark Challenge
video
Directorial assistance, video editing and 2D motion design for an incubation platform by Woolmark.

Designed to award emerging talent for forward-thinking solutions in performance textile design, Woolmark invited On and Salewa to initiate projects for the challenge’s participants in their respective ‘Running’ and ‘Ski/Mountain’ categories.

We developed a campaign that defines a connective visual thread across the finalists’ diversity of concepts and material. Inspired by Franco Grignani’s iconic Woolmark logo design, a winding 3D protagonist that takes center stage across all projects, weaving the finalist’s polyphonic results into one multi-layered narration.

Ŋgam dù 

web text research

Nggamdu.org is a portal by the spider diviners of Somié, Cameroon, who offer their practice of ŋgam dù divination, a method of arachnomancy practiced with ground-dwelling spiders to reveal truths about its consultee’s past, present and future.

Working with the lead diviner Bollo Pierre ‘Tadios’, artist Tomás Saraceno, and the project’s local collaborators, I produced the web portal to present, offer and archive this historic practice. The need to ensure creative agency and authorship for Bollo and other diviners gave rise to a co-creational, evolving design process since its launch in 2021 with the funds of Berliner Festpiele.

The web project has been the subject of several exhibitions, including Coming Soon at Lafayette Anticipations (FR), Web(s) of Life at Serpentine Galleries (UK) and Particular Matter(s) at The Shed (US), and featured in international press coverage.

Schwarz Foundation


Website concept and design for a major re-brand of a cultural foundation’s digital presence.

Schwarz Foundation is a private non-profit organisation based in Athens and Munich that fosters the exchange of ideas and practices between cultures and countries.  Working with their desire to cluster projects and programmes under thematic inititatives, we developed a tile-based system for displaying the foundation’s work, where each initiative is voiced by an accompanying visual mark.

The display system is complemented by a dynamic widget menu that transforms to the user’s selection and search in realtime. Real estate is thus freed up on the user’s screen to view and engage with more content.
