Cover image for Atlas of Forgotten Queens Six queens.
Atlas of Forgotten Queens Six queens. Six worlds. Countless untold stories. History remembers kings. It often forgets queens. The idea | Atlas of Forgotten Queens is an interactive visual-storytelling project that reimagines six historical women rulers — Zenobia, Nefertiti, Dihya, Tamara, Roxelana, and Artemisia I — through a symbolic, narrative-driven lens. Rooted in historical research across different cultures and eras, it focuses on influential women whose stories have been overlooked in traditional history. The approach | Rather than presenting history as a fixed reconstruction, the project translates it into a layered visual language where meaning is suggested through imagery, atmosphere, and symbolism. It is at once an archive and a reinterpretation — each queen sits between documentation and imagination, a shifting image shaped by symbols, suggestion, and a subtle sense of myth. The craft | Each queen is built as a digital collage combining photography, original illustration, and AI-generated imagery, fused into a single portrait that reads as historical identity reinterpreted, never literal reconstruction. Each queen's name is written in her own historical script — Egyptian hieroglyphs for Nefertiti, Tifinagh for Dihya, alongside Arabic, Georgian, and Greek — so that each ruler is named in her own writing, not only in ours. The process and tools | The project was designed, prototyped, and built in Figma Make, used both through its AI-driven generation and its code editor for precise refinement — Figma Make is the spine that turns the concept into a living, interactive site. Around it sits a wider creative pipeline: Photoshop and Illustrator for visual development and the gold-line maps; Midjourney for image generation; Gemini to compose the original score "The Last Prayer of the Sultan"; and Claude to develop and structure the narrative. The result is a genuine multi-tool, AI-and-manual workflow, with Figma Make at its center. The experience | The site unfolds like a museum. A soft, slowly drifting haze with floating, parallax collage elements gives way to a gallery of circular portraits; each queen's page reveals her in colour and invites the visitor to read symbolic hotspots placed directly on the artwork. The Geography of Silence gathers all six rulers onto a single map — where they ruled, and where memory let them fade. The Language of Emblems is the project's lexicon, collecting the recurring symbols — the hawk, the fox, the colour red — and reading them in their universal meaning: a key to the clues marked on each portrait. The journey closes with The Unwritten, where the names of other forgotten queens — Sheba, Amanirenas, Nzinga, Boudica, and more — surface and fade around a final illustration: an unfinished, ever-expanding tribute to the countless women still waiting to be remembered. The experience is fully responsive across desktop and mobile: on smaller screens it is rethought for touch rather than scaled down, with a collapsible menu, a pinch-to-zoom map, and enlarged tap targets. If you've read all the way to here — thank you for your interest! 😊 Figma Site | https://atlasqueens.figma.site/ (https://atlasqueens.figma.site/)Share | https://www.figma.com/make/uXm8S9lkymkTd8URAjmj6C/ATLAS-OF-FORGOTTEN-QUEENS?p=f&t=twAEHRsb3gv3aWaI-0 Community | https://www.figma.com/community/file/1646095544450556274

Cover image for Project Title: TimeMap — Historical World
Project Title: TimeMap — Historical World Explorer Short description: TimeMap is an interactive historical world map explorer that lets you travel through time and space simultaneously. Select multiple cities and archaeological sites from different parts of the world and see what was happening at the exact same moment in history. What I built: An interactive web app where you can: Search historical cities and archaeological sites Compare up to 4 locations simultaneously across 5,000 years of history Navigate through 7 historical eras via an interactive timeline Filter by world region Listen to era-appropriate ambient music Explore a vintage cartographic map with wave ocean texture How I used Google Stitch: I started from a personal infographic I designed in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop about the Korean Peninsula. I extracted the visual DNA — warm cream palette, coral accents, serif typography — and brought it into Google Stitch to prototype the interface. Through multiple iterations in Stitch I designed the map layout, the side panel, the leader portrait, the timeline and the editorial aesthetic. Stitch was the bridge between my design vision and the final development in Claude Code. Workflow: Adobe Illustrator + Photoshop → Google Stitch → Claude Code Project link: https://timemap-explorer.netlify.app/ Feedback on Stitch: Stitch is genuinely powerful for rapid UI prototyping. Iterating visually with prompts saved enormous time. The design consistency across iterations was impressive. Areas for improvement: handling complex SVG elements like world maps was challenging, and version history navigation could be more intuitive.

Cover image for Human by Design — Tea
Human by Design — Tea Pâtisserie & Flower House 🥐🌸 For the Envato Challenge, I created a romantic French pâtisserie and flower house brand inspired by the dreamy, pastel world of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. Using Envato as my creative toolkit, I developed the full brand experience: logo direction, typography, visual identity, mockups, graphic elements, floral assets, textures, stock imagery, video elements and music. I also used Envato AI to explore and generate the initial visual concepts. Human by Design moment: AI helped me generate possibilities, but the first outputs felt too perfect and lacked warmth. I made the creative decision to refine them by layering textures, adjusting compositions, selecting the right details and introducing imperfections to create a more tactile, handcrafted feeling. The final result is not just AI-generated imagery — it is a brand shaped through human taste, intuition and design choices. AI helped me generate possibilities. Human judgment turned them into a brand. Created with Envato Elements + AI Envato Elements used: Fonts | Graphics | Floral Assets | Textures | Mockups | Photos | Video Templates | Stock Video | Music #envatochallenge #HumanByDesign #Envato

Cover image for In collaboration with graphic designer
In collaboration with graphic designer Gianni Latino, an initial series of illustrations was created for the packaging of Ciatu, a brand of high-end beauty products made entirely in Sicily. The aim was to produce a series of elegant packaging designs that represent Sicilian history, culture and art through the millennia, set in elegant packaging that draws on the concept of a collection: each product, especially in the gel lines, is printed on the packaging in such a way as to create a puzzle. This project won the IDA Award for packaging in 2014.

Cover image for Flappers is an e-liquid flavor line
Flappers is an e-liquid flavor line developed for La Tabaccheria, an Italian brand specializing in direct tobacco extraction, aimed at expanding the brand's audience to include female consumers in an otherwise male-dominated market. The project was built entirely from scratch: no existing concept, no visual references. I developed the full creative identity, from concept to label design, drawing on the aesthetic of the Flappers and the Roaring Twenties. The visual system was designed with a modular color palette, allowing the producers to freely combine illustration color schemes according to each flavor's taste profile. The success of the line led to a second collaboration, this time aimed at a male audience.
