From 2024 to 2025, I supported the research project “Prof:inSicht” at the Munich University of Applied Sciences (Faculty 07). The aim of the project was to increase the visibility of female professors at universities of applied sciences (HAWs). My role as a UI/UX Designer and Web Developer included the conception, design, and technical implementation of an interactive web application where the research findings were made accessible, engaging, and easy to navigate. The application featured a web configurator that allowed users to explore profiles, filter information by discipline, and gain a deeper understanding of the academic contributions of female scholars. Additionally, users could export their personalized selections as a PDF.
In 2020, I supported the in-house design team at "Zoeppritz since 1828" as a Web \& Media Designer. There, I was responsible for developing visually engaging digital graphics, web layouts, and promotional materials that enhanced the brand’s identity and online presence. From 2021 to 2023, I was part of Soellner Communications as UI/UX designer. My role involved creating user-centered digital experiences, from wireframes and interactive prototypes to final interfaces for various clients, including Rolls-Royce, Infineon, and Kieback \& Peter, as well as local Munich startups. A highlight during that time was the design of the online platform for JUST! Zeppelin, a youth foundation established by the Zeppelin group to support young talent.
After completing my studies and a three-month internship at Vimcar in Berlin, I moved to Munich, Germany. In 2017, I joined studio brandcode as a Junior Interaction Designer. Among various projects, I contributed to the design and development of the visual identity campaign for the artist Asta von Unger. Between 2017 and 2019, I worked as a Web Designer at Evernine Group, a full-service agency based in Munich. In this role, I was responsible for designing and implementing user-centric digital interfaces across multiple sectors, including e-commerce, healthcare, and finance. One of the highlights was the complete redesign of the Evernine Group’s own brand identity.
Design + AI
Title
In 2023, as a part of my ongoing PhD research at Bauhaus University in Weimar, I founded AITYDE, an online platform dedicated to exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence within the fields of interaction design and typography. The name "AITYDE" is an acronym for AI in the Realms of TYpography and DEsign. Over the two-year period, the platform has featured a diverse range of content, including research articles, three practical case studies, interviews, three experimental showcases, and reflections about the creative and technical implications of artificial intelligence in interaction design.
As part of the dissemination of the PhD research in Weimar, a peer-reviewed paper was accepted and presented at the international conference Digicom 2024 – International Conference on Design and Digital Communication. The event provided an opportunity to share the project’s key findings and use case with an academic and professional audience. Each oral presentation was scheduled for 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes for discussion. Following the presentation, the paper was formally published as a part of the book series: Springer Series in Design and Innovation ((SSDI,volume 51)).
In July 2023, I took part in the 28th colloquium “Design Promoviert”, organized by the German Society for Design Theory and Research (dgtf). The event was held at the Berlin University of the Arts (UDK) and brought together a diverse group of researchers and designers from Germany and abroad. I delivered a 30-minute presentation that focused on my PhD research. In my talk, I discussed the importance of integrating machine learning and variable fonts to create more adaptive and personalized user interfaces. The feedback from participants was constructive and encouraging, offering valuable insights for the further development of my work.
In 2025, my work was also featured in the international publication New New Typography (edited by Matter Of, published by Verlag für moderne Kunst). The book brings together a wide range of contemporary designers and typographers who are pushing the boundaries of type and graphic communication in the digital age. Featured alongside practitioners, my contribution positioned my research and design experiments within a broader dialogue on the evolving role of typography in interaction design, artificial intelligence, and digital culture. The publication presents both critical perspectives and visual case studies, reflecting on how typography continues to transform in response to new technologies and shifting social contexts.
After having finished my Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design at University of Prishtina in Kosovo (2010 to 2014), I relocated to Germany to pursue my Master's degree in Integrated Design at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau. For my Master's thesis project, I focused on the domain of UI/UX design and designed an interactive poetry web app using Processing and JavaScript (with HTML5/CSS3 for web-based interaction). The app was called "POETCLOUD" and showcased how carefully crafted interactivity and rich media could revolutionize the reading and understanding of poetry in the digital age. It was supervised by Prof. Hermann Wolfram Klöckner and Prof. Bernd Hennig.

Workshops
In 2023, with the invitation of Charlotte Rohde and Marcel Saidov I led a three-day workshop at the Bauhaus University Weimar, titled “Responsive Variable Typography.” The aim of the workshop was to introduce students to Machine Learning (ML) and in the process to give them a glimpse of what is possible to achieve when machine learning is intersected with variable font interpolations. The students used variable fonts with pre-trained ml5.js machine learning libraries to create reading interfaces that respond in real-time to human pose estimation and adjust the typography accordingly.
In 2024, I held another two-week workshop at the Bauhaus Summer School titled “Design Basics: Exploring User Interface (UI) Design Within the Bauhaus Context.” The aim of the workshop was to familiarize students with the fundamental principles of user interface design, through the lenses of the Bauhaus movement, blending historical insight with practical UI methodologies. The students created a variety of prototypes that showed how Bauhaus principles could work in modern design. Their projects included clean and simple website layouts, user-friendly mobile apps, and creative coding experiments with dynamic visuals. Some focused on bold typography and grid-based designs, while others used vibrant colors and interactive elements.
Beyond my professional focus on interaction, visual systems and typography, I participated in some research exchange programmes. In 2018, with the support of GIZ (Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), I conducted a three-week workshop at the University of Prishtina, titled “Non–Original Genius (Design by Other Means in the Digital Age)”. The aim of the workshop was to use my expertise and skills to enable students to, over the three weeks, become acquainted with emerging design theories of remix, appropriation, authorship and production. The workshop was informed by Marjorie Perloff’s seminal work Unoriginal Genius, which explores creativity through recombination and appropriation in the digital age.
Showcases
Exhibitions
In 2021, I participated in the creative festival “CAPTCHA Design Festival” in Mannheim, Germany. The festival was organized by the design students of Mannheim University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Design. The theme that year was “Onwards,” highlighting progress, transformation, and the exploration of future-oriented design practices. I participated with a generative poster created using p5.js, which featured continuous motion and evolving visual patterns. The base code was adapted and extended from an open-source code (originally by Thibaud G., CodePen). The code was modified to integrate new color palettes, adjust animation dynamics, and refine the overall visual composition. Finally, the poster was presented alongside works from other participants at the final exhibition held at the Mannheim Art Association.
In 2019, I participated in a creative festival in Munich called "Schnapsundidee", which took place at the Werksviertel district, a former industrial area transformed into a vibrant cultural and creative hub. My project called “Let Them Eat Work” explored the topic of productivity fetishism and workaholic culture through 14 animated kinetic typographic posters. The name “Let Them Eat Work” was inspired by Kate Tempest’s collection Let Them Eat Chaos as well as the infamous phrase “Let them eat cake” commonly attributed to Marie Antoinette. The festival lasted two days and included works from designers and artists working in photography, installation, and video art. The posters were animated in Adobe After Effects, using the key-frame animation tool.
