Imaginary Fruit - Die Kornbirne
In this project, we were asked to invent a fictional fruit that could realistically be marketed. I created the “Kornbirne” – a hardy pear-like crop with a tough shell. Once ripe, it simply drops from the tree, making harvesting easy and efficient. It's designed for durability, simplicity, and a no-fuss farming approach.
Scratch Game - Escape the Lava Dungeon
This assignment challenged us to design and program a labyrinth-style game using Scratch. I went for a retro dungeon crawler vibe with pixel art visuals. Dodge lava traps, explore the maze, and see how fast you can reach the goal! It’s a quick and fiery little adventure.
Zine - GeZIELT Kreativ
In a group project, we created a zine exploring the creative process and how ideas come to life. My role was to develop the visual concept and create the illustrations. The zine captures the chaotic, fun, and focused phases of the creative workflow. Look and learn yome usefull tipps against barricades.
Urban Design - Einkaufen mit Moral
The task was to design a physical object that could become a place of social interaction within a city. I created a hybrid between a shopping bag and a basket – symbolizing the contrast between local markets and large chain stores. The object invites reflection on sustainable shopping and creates a symbolic meeting point for community exchange.
