Presentation at UdK Berlin
28. Kolloquium "Design Promoviert at UdK Berlin
In September 2023, I had the opportunity to take part in the 28. Kolloquium „Design Promoviert“ organised by the German Society for Design Theory and Research (DGTF) to deliver a condensed presentation of my current PhD research at the Bauhaus University in Weimar. The event, which took place at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), brought together a diverse group of researchers and designers from around Germany and the world.
Poetcloud
Prof. Bernd Hennig
Poetcloud - Rethinking poetry in the digital age
Poetcloud is the result of a three-month long research for my master’s thesis project “Poetry in the new media – Rethinking poetry in the digital age”. My aim was to bring poetry to a new audience and to use the special capabilities of the digital devices along with digital typography to read poetry in a different way on the screen. It was supervised by Prof. Hermann W. Klöckner and Prof. Bernd Hennig.
Teaching
Workshop, ML & Variable Type
Responsive Variable Typography with ML Workshop
In June 2023 I had the opportunity to hold a workshop at the department of Typography and Type Design at Bauhaus University Weimar. 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.
Workshop at BUW Weimar
Exploring UI Design within the Bauhaus Context
Two-week workshop at the Bauhaus Summer School in Weimar. Over the course of the workshop, we delved into the world of UI design, exploring the core principles of the Bauhaus movement and their relevance to today’s digital interfaces.
Appropriation Workshop
Non–Original Genius (Design by other means in the digital age)
Non–Original Genius (Design by other means in the digital age) was a three-week long graphic design workshop I carried out at the University of Prishtina in Kosovo. It was supported by the Centre for International Migration and Development (CIM) as part of the “Diaspora Experts” program. 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.
Exhibitions

Poster designed CAPTCHAdesign Festival
This poster was created using p5.js to commemorate the 7th edition of the CAPTCHAdesign Festival in Mannheim. The festival featured an exhibition at the Mannheimer Kunstverein, showcasing works from a diverse group of designers, all inspired by the theme "Onward".
