Polkadot represents the forefront of decentralized network technology, shaping the construction and collaboration of blockchains. Initiated by Gavin Wood, a co-founder of Ethereum, its creation addresses the hurdles anticipated in a Web3 era.

In collaboration with the Polkadot community, our goal was to reinvent the brand in a way that empowers the community to embody and promote Web3’s vision through Polkadot. This approach led us to develop versatile branding tools instead of rigid guidelines, fostering unity yet embracing diversity. To embody this decentralized ethos in a tangible brand identity, we ensured it resonates with the core values of flexibility, interoperability, and evolution that Polkadot champions.

The Philharmonie Luxembourg is an esteemed music venue and acclaimed worldwide. In order to bond with a new generation of music-lovers, its emphasis and core values have been re-shifted to focus on emotion, live experiences, and the joy of music. To make this vision a reality, NB Studio and I collaborated on designing and realizing a new identity which puts music at the very heart of the brand. Designed as a 21st-century brand, the identity blends the sound of the music performed at the venue with its building’s signature vertical columns. As different genres of music are played, the design of the logo is altered, reflecting the genre in real-time and breathing life into the brand. In this way, the visual representation of the Philharmonie is constantly being refreshed and given an energy that appeals to music-lovers of all ages.

Surface invites people to drop their masks and show the reality behind the social stage. Showcased on web-enabled CLPs in public places of pause, people are encouraged to take a selfie that reveals their actual current mood. Simultaneously broadcast across a network of screens, people that see the image can instantly respond, show their compassion with preset emoticons or join their brave predecessors in uploading their own unmasked selves. Uploading their unmasked self, the picture appears on the CLP–screen as the sum of different shapes in a three dimensional field – symbolizing the effort that it takes to keep oneself together day by day. ‚Surface‘ wants to interrupt everyday life, draw peoples attention to the image they create in public and showcase the dark side of constantly hiding one’s feelings. Let’s create connections by taking off our masks.

Two years ago famed Swedish paper brand Munken developed a new font which they subsequently made available for everyone to use: Munken Sans – a timeless font, inspired by 1960’s Swedish typeface Tratex.

After the release, I was approached by agency JUNO to ideate and develop a novel playground for this font which would allow creatives to explore its application in surprising new ways. They specifically asked for a solution that would fuse the unexpectedness of Creative Coding- and Generative Design-based visual exploration with precise control over the font’s properties. The result of our dialogue is The Munken Creator: A playground of unimagined possibilities, enabling designers to create visually animated and unique messages. It is an invitation to inspire cooperation among creatives. And a challenge of how we preserve the heritage of design while simultaneously reinventing its tools for a hybrid future.

Agency Dragon Rouge Singapore invited me to bring to life their idea of a flexible visual design system which recognizes the multiple forms in which energy exists. An idea that reflects the various facets and states in which energy can exist – from the electrons of the sun, to the carbon molecules of our earth, to the latent potential that lies in every individual. This is exactly what each “PETRONAS dot” represents. The identity pays homage to Petrona’s core identity and emphasizes the brand’s expertise and technological capabilities.

To launch evian’s latest product innovation, I collaborated with Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam to create a lighthearted and compelling story which would get consumers to try the new evian+ line of products. The playful rhymes and metaphors, such as ‘Feeling Foggy? Get Fizzy.” were staged by a dynamic, animated typeface. To enable a simultaneous global rollout across multiple markets and languages, the typeface was created using Generative Design – effectively automating the design process and allowing for a quick and cost-effective translation and application of the complex visual style by multiple contractors and partners.

Picture a stone hitting calm waters, creating a cascade of ripples – a sort of kinetic energy that brings to life ever-evolving forms of expressions to tell a story about breaking up the static and embracing the unexpected.

In early 2018 I had the chance to collaborate with agencies onformative and Wolff Olins on the rebranding for the global management consultants McKinsey & company. One of the directions of the global pitch aimed at making the new McKinsey „smart M“ logo dynamic, bespoke and highly reactive. I was tasked with exploring non-traditional approaches, which made me come up with ideas ranging from using facial markers and employee’s names as data points for unique and tailor-made logo variations up to creating unique synthesized soundscapes based on people’s interaction with logo.

A significant part of my job often involves brainstorming and shaping new concepts that redefine what dynamic brands can be, making them more accessible, responsive, and expressive. This work, now almost six years old, represents an early stage in my journey. Looking back, it’s fascinating to see how my pursuit of impactful, data-driven branding has been a consistent theme in my career, even before I fully mastered the techniques of generative design.

The Prelude No.1 in C Major is arguably the most famous of Johann Sebastian Bach’s movements for the Well-Tempered Clavier and quite certainly one of the most influential and defining musical texts in history altogether. To this date, its inherent ideas, patterns and structures are continuing to shape modern music and the way we perceive and create musical compositions. Its harmonic, monophonic progression is almost mathematical in construction and of a timelessness only few composers have achieved. This is why its deceptive simplicity and inherent beauty lends itself to be appreciated and rediscovered in this series of interactive, audio-visual explorations.
