Projects
  • BMW Savannah
    BMW SavannahUrban mobility as a cultural phenomenon. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the experience of motorcyclists from various categories. Developed on the basis of an existing model, which created certain functional and aesthetic presets for the work. The product focuses on safety both in motion and when stationary. Intuitive maintenance and supportive operation. Created both for existing users and for those who usually ignore motorcycles due to safety concerns or subcultural barriers. Targe
  • Paper Portal to Agency
    Paper Portal to AgencyArchitecture of Possibility: Paper as a Portal to Agency. A system of printable templates designed to cultivate agency through material interaction. The project functions as a way of seeing ordinary environments as both not presset and perpetually unfinished. The project operates at the intersection of formative tool and aesthetic object, creating a third position that defies traditional categorization. Six Thematic Territories: Each starting point provides a distinct conceptual framework thro

  • PotCare LOT2046
    PotCare LOT2046Living Systems of Drinking: Portable architectures of care, where the act of drinking evolves into a fluid extension of personal rhythm.
