Hi, I’m Anna.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer working across editorial design, visual communication, digital experiences and product design.What interests me most is the process of turning complex subjects and everyday observations into clear, engaging design solutions.I enjoy exploring how typography, composition, materials and interaction can shape the way people perceive and experience information and objects.

What I Do

01 / Editorial Design

Books, magazines, publications and typographic systems.

02 / Visual Communication

Information design, visual concepts and structured storytelling.

03 / Digital Design

Digital longreads, layouts and interactive experiences.

04 / Product Design

Object concepts, form exploration and physical prototyping.

Five projects.
Five different perspectives.

I approach each project as an opportunity to investigate a subject, experiment with different directions and develop a solution that connects concept, form and function.The process is not always linear. Sometimes an unexpected visual detail, a material limitation or a new observation changes the direction of the work. I see these discoveries as an important part of designing.

A selection of projects exploring culture, visual storytelling, information, editorial design and everyday objects.

05/DogBowl

A modular wooden stand for a dog’s feeding bowl, developed through research, form exploration and hands-on prototyping.

The Challenge

How can a publication communicate the richness of a cultural subject while remaining visually coherent and engaging?The challenge was to organize diverse visual and textual materials into a book with a recognizable graphic language. The design needed to support the content, establish a clear reading hierarchy and create a meaningful relationship between traditional imagery and contemporary editorial techniques.

Finding a Visual Language

The visual direction developed around the relationship between cultural imagery and typography. Chinese characters, contrasting scales and carefully arranged images became important elements of the publication’s graphic language.

The Final Publication

The result is an editorial project that brings cultural imagery, typography and composition into a unified visual system.Through this work, I explored how book design can do more than present information: it can establish a particular atmosphere, guide attention and offer a visual interpretation of the subject.

Tattoo is a digital longread dedicated to the history and visual diversity of tattooing.The project combines editorial storytelling, expressive typography and interactive elements to present the subject in an engaging and structured way.

The Challenge

Tattooing has a long history and a wide range of visual styles. Presenting such a broad subject in a digital format requires a clear information structure and a compelling reading experience.The challenge was to create a longread that could guide readers through different aspects of tattoo culture without reducing the subject to a simple collection of images and facts.The design needed to balance informative content, visual expression and opportunities for interaction.

Building the Narrative

The longread is organized around the history of tattooing and the development of different tattoo styles.The content is divided into thematic sections, allowing readers to move through the material gradually and understand how the subject changes across different contexts.

The Final Longread

The result is a digital editorial concept that combines historical content, visual storytelling and interaction within a single experience.Through this project, I explored how information architecture, typography and motion can work together to shape the way a reader discovers a subject.
