Komische Oper Berlin ╱ Website ╱ Design Direction, UI/UX Design, Workshop and Consultancy, Information Architecture, Prototyping, Wireframing, Digital Assets and Web Guideline

The Komische Oper Berlin stands for vibrant and humorous opera, operetta and musicals. Its history goes back to 1892, when the building was inaugurated as “Theater unter den Linden”. Following the appointment of Barrie Kosky as the new artistic director in 2011, we reimagine the music theatre’s visual identity and accompany the house for over a decade.

With the existing graphic identity, I further designed to simplify for the highly adaptable set of visual devices, including a new and comprehensive website. This resulted into enabling the theater team to tapping deep into the opera’s communicative potential, finding new voices to address its heterogeneous clientele.

Leibniz University Hannover  ╱ Key Visual, Poster Series and Digital Banner

With ‘Digital Relations’, the research area “Sociology of Digitalisation” aims to promote scientific exchange on forward-looking research fields of the digital transformation and bring together recognised scientists and young researchers. In lively discussions, the workshops encourage new research field explorations beyond knowledge transfer, concepts of socio-technical arrangements are discussed and own findings are reflected in the light of new ideas. A bold key visual and a series of posters were presented to communicate the tension between concreteness and abstraction. 

Komische Oper Berlin ╱ Ticketing System ╱ Design Direction, Ticketing UI/UX Design, Workshop and Consultation and Digital Assets

For Komische Oper, tradition is understood as a process of continuous renewal, and so does the look and feel of the online ticket system. Much attention is paid to detail: the seamless, tangibility, and memorability of the ticketing experience, have become a much charismatic feature of the opera house.

Die Junge Akademie ╱ Key Visual, Booklet, Poster and Digital Banner

“Worldviews” are not only spatial and temporal and limited, they are also influenced by social circumstances. Science is not exempted from this: Despite the ideal of objectivity, researchers’ thoughts and actions are influenced by certain views of the world—scientific, but also non-scientific. For the 2020 edition of ”Salon Sophie Charlotte”, a series of posters were presented as a way-finding system; a flyer in form of a fanfold as a complimentary medium to the holographic installation; and a vibrant key visual to communicate the theme.

Sound City — Festival der Musik- und Kunstschulen Brandenburg ╱ Music Festival ╱ Corporate Design, Design Direction, Information Architecture, UI/UX Design, Print Design, Digital Assets, Motion Design and Social Media

Sound City is the festival of the music and art schools of Brandenburg, organised jointly by the Brandenburg Association of Music and Art Schools and the hosting city and district. Every two years, the festival turns a town in Brandenburg into a large and lively open-air stage. I developed and designed the corporate design and produce all digital and analog festival campaign assets from the start to the launching stage.

Emblematic, clarity and power. The new design draws on the 17 rural districts, evoking an image which Brandenburg can proudly represent.

Having launched with the rebrand and website in June 2023, the audience and reception have expanded and covered by the press and beyond. Sound City — the new branding succeeds in recognising what rural communities have to offer on the local regional stage.

What it means to be sustainable in today’s fashion scene? We updated an urban fashion label to reflect the digital conditions of contemporary communication.

We addressed contemporary issues fashion faces: on climate, environment, production, consumption, and wellbeing for people.

With a strategic approach to design, we investigated the overarching goal of sustainable and circular fashion design for the digital world. The digital presence and strategic framework were built to embrace a scalable eStore, dialogs and B2B markets opportunities. Additionally, the redesign includes topic and methodologies such as local regeneration, new material understanding and value, crafts and remake and repair skills.

Theater Erlangen ╱ Website and AR App ╱ UI/UX Design, Augmented Reality, Research and Concept, Look and Feel, Information Architecture

For the regional noble Franconian, we redesigned the digital presence for the baroquan Theater Erlangen.

As a team project, we created a playful, yet distinctive look to make visible connections with the future; making sure the theatre appeals to the 21st century audiences and communication technologies.

The newly elaborated illustrative style overlaps the theatrical programs and participative arts, linking to the theatre’s legacy of being youthful and active. Elements and features for the website are created with wit, attention to detail illustrations and animated components to reimagine theatrical experience to pull the younger crowd.

We also included accessibility features on the website to communicate inclusivity and openness.

Toneletters ╱ Concept,  Interactive Design, Type Design, Exhibition and Poster Design

An interactive project interplaying letterform, sound and visual abstraction. Other than the linguistic component to represent a formal aspect of information and comprehension, alphabets could be a carrier of musical codes. Toneletters could be reimagined on a live format in public spaces with data transmitted via daily news. With moving typography and sound, the web app allows users to participate both as a musician and listener.
