🏆 Award-winning design for Kieler Woche 2025
The Kieler Woche is one of Europe’s largest summer festivals and the world’s biggest sailing event, attracting millions of visitors each year.
Since 1959, the official visual identity — including the annual poster and overall design, has been chosen through an invitation-only international design competition, renowned in the graphic design community. Participation itself is considered an honor.Â
My concept was selected as the winning design for Kieler Woche 2025, becoming the official visual identity of the event. On top of that, the project was honored with the Tokyo TDC Annual Award — one of the most prestigious international awards in visual communication and typography.
Grateful for the trust, the opportunity, and this incredible recognition.
thank you so much Ciro!

Meriot Netherlands-based product designer portfolio
I explored a portfolio website for Meriot, a product designer based in the Netherlands who wanted a digital presence that felt more personal, editorial, and design-focused.
The challenge was to avoid the typical portfolio formula and create something that communicates personality within the first few seconds.
The direction
→ Bold editorial typography
→ Strong personal photography
→ Minimal black-and-white foundation
→ Warm orange accent for CTAs
→ Simple, structured navigation
→ Clear positioning as a product designer
→ A portfolio experience that feels like a personal brand
The idea was to make the website feel confident without being complicated.
Rather than leading with a long introduction, the hero immediately communicates who Meriot is, what he does, and where the visitor should go next.
Nice design broooo
