New Chicago
Typedesign
2022 - ongoing
New Chicago is based on the iconic bitmap font “Chicago” designed by Susan Kare for the Apple
Macintosh computers.
It was created by developing a bespoke process to reshape the original bitmap Chicago into
something new.
I was inspired by experimental Typedesigners such as Cornel Windlin, Wim Crowel and Neville
Brody.
The process involves redrawing the bitmap characters, forcefully scaling them up and redraw them
with no grey-values using a p5.js script.
The result is a version of the bitmap Chicago that is appropriate for high
resolution screens, without losing the charm of the original.
A regular, a light and a bold cut have been developed.
Langnau Jazz Nights
Poster Design and Visual Identity
2022
This poster was officially chosen for the 2023 Langnau Jazz Nights, an annual Jazz Festival in
Switzerland with a long tradition. Together with the event organizers, the production will
include not only posters, but also social media content, magazine ads, stickers, t-shirts and
more.
I used a self-developed p5.js script as my main tool. The script works by translating black and
white inputs into shapes and colors. With this tool, I have created a very flexible system that
allows me to create other applications whith ease.
Musik mit Maus
Layout und Illustration
2024
For this project, I developed the design and layout of a music booklet for children
, which serves as a learning aid for the Zurich Music Level Test. In close collaboration
with the author Yoko Jinnai, a booklet was created that teaches the basics of musical notation
in a playful and child-friendly way
. The aim was to design a visually appealing and
educationally valuable booklet that can be used both in lessons and for independent
learning. The project combines my passion for design with a
practical use in education.

We are increasingly relying on technology to make our lives easier. No longer having to carry
around a big paper map to get from point A to B, or even having to know how to read it. We can
visit any place in the world via Google Street View. One no longer needs to deeply engage with
the terrain since satellite based navigation does the engaging for us. What promised to be a
great benefit to our lives came at the cost of losing certain inate human abilities.
Parallel to this development, there has been an increase in outdoor clothing in urban areas — an
aesthetic known as Gorpcore. But these clothes, designed to withstand extreme weather
conditions, will never need to fulfill their purpose. The greatest adventure will be a trip to
the newest brunch spot.
In the magazine “(GSV) GeoTech Style Vision” the reader can explore these topics and discover
that they are more interlinked than expected. By following the intertextual links, one can jump
between the texts, ranging from philosophical essays to simple tweets. The accompanying images
open the doors to the visual intersection of Google Street View and Gorpcore.
This editorial as well as the photography was done in collaboration with Clara Holmes.
«Ich bhalt ja alles uf»
Editorial Design
2023
Graphic designer Jacques Plancherel was not exaggerating when he said in an interview for SRF
that he kept everything. In collaboration with Artemisia Astolfi, Anastasiia Maslei and Sarah
Iller, we delved into the archives of the Museum für Gestaltung, where we discovered a plethora
of documentation on Plancherel's contribution to the national exhibition 'Expo 64' - from
financial reports and scenario reports to public feedback. The book provides insight into the
creative process and the hidden stories that lie buried within the archives.

Mouseparty
Illustration and Risography
2022
After a wild party has died down and everyone has fallen asleep, another creature is creeping
through the apartment. As the (altered) saying goes: “When the humans are away, the cats will
play”
This Zine was printed by myself at the ZHdK Riso Lab.
