I started a Master’s in Advanced Graphic Design last November.
Not because I needed a title, but because I felt ready to go deeper.
Up until now, I’ve been self-taught. With a background in architecture, I’ve built my design practice through experience, curiosity, and a lot of hands-on work. But I reached a point where I wanted to structure what I know, refine my thinking, and explore new areas like web design and motion graphics.
As an introduction, our first assignment was to create a series of posters that tell our story.
A simple brief, but a challenging one.
Today I’m sharing two of them.
The first explores where I live. I chose the Tour de Sauvabelin in Lausanne, a place I return to often during my runs. As an architect, I’m drawn to its structure and logic. As a person, I value the perspective it offers. It’s a place where everything feels momentarily aligned.
The second reflects my mission as a designer.
Through this exercise, I realised how much my approach is shaped by the way I think and learn. I’m detail-oriented and highly visual. I understand complexity by seeing it, mapping it, and breaking it down.
This led me to a simple realisation:
I use design to make complex things clear.
This assignment also gave me the opportunity to explore contrast in typography, combining expressive, decorative elements with more minimal and structured ones. A balance that reflects both sides of my approach.
Looking forward to continuing this journey and pushing these ideas further.

DUALLY YOURS - ZINE
This project is about the tug-of-war between seeing things clearly and finding beauty in the blur. It began as a study of my own spectacles for a typography class at Elisava, led by Mark Bohle.
The zine looks at two different ways of moving through the world. My right eye represents the person I feel I should be—the one who follows the rules, sticks to a routine, and stays organized. It loves clean lines, precise writing, and everything being in its right place.
My left eye is different. It mirrors my lazy eye condition, where things naturally "drift." Instead of trying to fix the blur, this perspective finds something special in it. It finds beauty in the unexpected—like the way sunlight looks through a broken window or how a simple smudge on a lens can change the way a story feels.
Nice and creative idea with excellent execution.
