Book Cover Design
2025

This project examines contemporary funerary urns. Developed as part of an assignment focused on selecting an industrial designer and creating a book cover around their work, the project explores how designers today are reimagining this object and how these reinterpretations influence understandings of memory, grief, and meaning. The final cover is quiet and minimal, intended to evoke calm and respect. Soft ash tones, a subtle grainy texture, and a photograph of a white urn that nearly dissolves into the background establish a restrained visual language. The urn appears open, suggesting transparency and dialogue while reframing familiar assumptions around privacy and containment. A typology of modern urns appears along the spine, introducing a subtle narrative layer and offering a quiet signal of the book’s content for readers browsing a shelf.

Volcano Day
Visual Identity
2022


Kamchatka has long been a land of legends. For centuries, Indigenous peoples have celebrated their deep spiritual connection with nature through song, ritual, and offerings to the land. Among the most revered forces are the volcanoes—the proud guardians of the Kamchatka Peninsula.Volcano Day is a modern continuation of this reverence, celebrated annually as part of Kamchatka Region’s Tourism Days. The festival’s main site is the picturesque Nalychevskaya Valley, though in recent years it has expanded both in scope and location. Held each summer, the event brings together locals and visitors for mountain climbs to the Avacha and Kozelskiy volcanoes, sports and motorbike competitions, film screenings, educational lectures on the region’s flora and fauna, and traditional dance performances.

und wein
Visual Identity and Packaging Design
2023



This project was developed for a young Berlin-based winery launching a small family of two red wines, each aged differently.
Wine drinking is an inherently social ritual — it enhances shared experiences and fosters emotional connections between people. A bottle of wine becomes part of this togetherness, an intangible “heritage” passed from one person to another as stories and memories are exchanged around the table. From this idea came the concept of creating patterns from real hand and fingerprint impressions collected during a home-cooked dinner with friends. These impressions symbolize the “traces” people leave on a wine bottle and the emotional legacy passed quite literally from hand to hand. They can also be seen as a metaphor for the wine’s journey from the producer to the consumer. From the many handprints created, two visual styles were chosen: bold, expressive strokes for the mature wine, and lighter, more delicate strokes for the younger one.
The name und wein was inspired by everyday conversations in cafés and restaurants. It sounds like a natural continuation of an order, suggesting that wine is part of the whole experience rather than standing apart. The handwritten wordmark adds a warm, human touch to the identity.
