Mental Health
product design
ux-design
ui-design
Anxiety doesn't pause between therapy sessions. A six-month end-to-end UX project designing a clinically grounded companion app that turns everyday experiences into structured, shareable signals for users and their therapists.
Safety‑critical Interface
system design
user research
When autonomous vehicles remove the human driver, how do pedestrians know when to cross? A research-driven exploration of how light, motion, and color semantics can communicate vehicle intent, without words, icons, or guesswork.
Travel
Pet owners don't just need more "pet-friendly" filters, they need to trust what the label actually means. A 2.5-day sprint for Lufthansa Innovation Hub that reframed a trust problem and evolved into a B2C+B2B travel ecosystem.
Loyalty & Rewards
product strategy
Loyalty programs often just add points. A six-month strategic redesign that transformed a delayed, fragmented cashback experience into a unified savings ecosystem built around instant rewards, personal relevance, and a feasible roadmap for sustainable product growth.
Health & Fitness
interaction design
Most fitness apps are built for people who are already motivated. A UI design concept that challenges gym-culture clichés and designs for the fragile, vulnerable start. Making a new habit feel achievable, not like another exam to fail.
Commercial
art direction
motion
A 2D mobile game reimagined as a 3D world. Told through an animated pop-up book. A three-month project that expanded Nerbyte's universe for a new platform while keeping the charm that made the original work.
Event
A full CGI experience synchronized live with real bus performances for the Tourismo launch. Technically ambitious, deadline-driven, and built to make a vehicle feel like a spectacle.
Heating and cooling products don't sell themselves, but stories do. We turned Vaillant's standard product imagery into web specials with original narratives and visuals that made technical features genuinely engaging.
Logo Bumper
Three days to define a brand identity from scratch. The logo bumper we created in that sprint became the calling card that landed our first clients, including BMW and Daedalic.
Two debuts, one stage. We created the visuals for Škoda's CitiGo reveal and DJ Tiësto's performance at the Geneva Motor Show, where a new car and a new track shared the same moment.
Siemens' iSensoric campaign demanded more than photography could deliver. I translated high-resolution CAD data into photorealistic CGI built for massive print and digital formats, where every detail had to hold up at scale.
