Glamcult SELECTS

Glamcult SELECTS is a series of events dedicated to the trailblazers of music and the community of Amsterdam scene.

Commencing with the inception of the second edition of SELECTS, I undertook the task of developing a concept for a visual system for the event's identity. This multifaceted identity overhaul encompassed the creation of a custom typeface (wordmark) and layout design. Additionally, my responsibilities extended to video editing, as well as the curation of email and social media visuals."

I GOT CONSUMED BY THE CONTENT I CONSUME

The video installation is a poignant exploration of the perils and complexities embedded within our relationship with social media. Standing as a commentary on the overwhelming nature of digital content and its potential to shape our lives, the work prompts a deeper introspection on the impact of media consumption on well-being. Advocating for mindful engagement with the digital landscape, the video demands a re-evaluation of our roles as active consumers.


The project was selected and exhibited during Dutch Design Week 2023 in Eindhoven as a part of Introduction on DDW program.

Mass Manipulation Awareness

Advancements and experimentation have been undertaken for a hypothetical Institute for Mass Manipulation Awareness. The core objective of this institute revolves around enlightening and instructing society about the various forms of manipulation, spanning from activism to public relations.

The visual evolution of this project was guided by the notion of an intricate maze of information, a product of manipulation itself. The deliberate organization of the layout and the incorporation of black and white components synergize to offer lucidity, significantly enhancing the institute's intended mission.

Guide into PANELky

This is an intimate publication that delves into the narratives within Tallinn's Lasnamae district in Estonia. It intricately weaves together the district's history and the individual tales of its residents, employing a blend of interviews, historical analysis, and visual elements.

Within the pages of this publication, I embarked on an exploration of multifaceted themes. These encompass the intricate interplay between affection and aversion—a love/hate relationship—as well as the lasting repercussions stemming from the Post-Soviet era. Moreover, the publication delves into the pivotal realm of urbanism, highlighting its significance in shaping the district's essence.
