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
Für dieses Projekt habe ich das Design und die Gestaltung eines Musikhefts für Kinder entwickelt, das als Lernhilfe für den Zürcher Musik-Stufentest dient. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Autorin Yoko Jinnai entstand ein Heft, das die Grundlagen der Notenschrift auf spielerische und kindgerechte Weise vermittelt. Ziel war es, ein visuell ansprechendes und pädagogisch wertvolles Heft zu gestalten, das sowohl im Unterricht als auch beim selbstständigen Lernen eingesetzt werden kann. Das Projekt vereint meine Leidenschaft für Design mit einem praktischen Nutzen im Bildungsbereich.

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.
Waters Blend
Music Cover Design
2024
These 4 single covers, as well as the album cover were created for the second instanciation of the Liquid Pop project ‘waters blend’ initiated by Djamal Moumène in 2021. The project aimed to connect different artists working from home during the Covid-19 Pandemic and to create something together, despite the geographical distance.
Dialogisches Songwriting
Layout
2024
In Zusammenarbeit mit Lisa Sager habe ich ein Unterrichtsmaterial für GymnasialschülerInnen entwickelt, das sich auf das Thema Songwriting im Musikunterricht konzentriert. Das Projekt "Dialogisches Songwriting" bietet eine strukturierte Anleitung, wie SchülerInnen ihre eigenen Songs komponieren und texten können. Der Fokus liegt auf einem dialogischen Ansatz, der kreativen Austausch und Zusammenarbeit fördert. Mein Beitrag bestand in der Gestaltung eines klaren und ansprechenden Layouts, das die Inhalte übersichtlich präsentiert und den kreativen Prozess unterstützt. Dieses Material verbindet didaktische Tiefe mit einem modernen, schülernahen Design.
