Timeline of Milestones



Created during a three-month seminar on Gender & Design, this timeline emerged from research on women in design history. 
The seminars outcome included an interview with April Greiman and other influential female figures.






2023
com-moon-all


Created at Politecnico di Milano (2023) within the course Space4Inspira(c)tion in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA), this timeline visualized the experiential journey of our group project Com-Moon-all

Developed together with Gabriella Miles and Jules Coffineau Rolland, it traced how astronauts might negotiate territory and belonging on the Moon, and how symbolic connections to Earth could be maintained. The sequential design illustrates phases of adaptation, community-building, and memory, translating speculative exploration into a narrative of interdependence between human presence and extraterrestrial environments.











SELECTED WORKS

Posters & Layouts




2021
Poster for the German Camera Award 


Developed as part of a collaboration with the German Camera Award (2022/23), this project challenged me to design posters and accompanying animations for the renowned competition. 

As my first poster design project, it became an exploration of the interplay between typography, photography, and graphic elements. Inspired by the role of the cinematographer, the final design visualizes light, shadow, and the hidden presence of the camera in an abstract yet modern composition.





2023
Inter . dependence


Developed at Politecnico di Milano (2023), this poster originated from the creation of a personal landscape, conceived as part of an exercise in self-visualization. I titled the work Interdependence, as it reflects how I perceive myself—constantly shaped by connections, movement, and transformation. 

The poster was produced for an exhibition at the Italian Embassy in Australia, visualizing the interplay between nature, society, and personal experience as a network that defines identity and growth.




2024
Gill Sans


Developed at Universidade de Aveiro (2024), this poster was part of a typographic exploration focused on the history and use of Gill Sans. The work investigated how typefaces convey cultural meaning and visual identity through form, context, and application.




2024
Ty.Topography

-> 



Desigend at Universidade de Aveiro (2024) as part of a research project on typography and layout, this booklet compiles and explores typefaces from different categories. 
Conceived as a visual archive, it documents variations in form, style, and application, highlighting how typographic choices shape communication and identity.

Bachelor Thesis








This bachelor thesis investigates how design-led research can contribute to a deeper public understanding of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), a form of violence that is often difficult to grasp due to its psychological, social and ethical complexity. 

The project is guided by the research question:
“To what extent can multivision dream simulations create a deeper connection between outsiders and survivors of sexualised war crimes?”


The research focuses on how experiences that are largely inaccessible to those not directly affected can be approached through mediated, non-documentary narrative forms. Drawing on interdisciplinary sources, including research on CRSV, psychological theories of trauma, and representations of dreams, memory and fragmentation in art history, the thesis examines the limits of conventional representation and explores alternative ways of communicating lived experience.

These research insights informed the development of a multivision dream simulation, conceived as an experimental design format rather than a fictional narrative. The simulation translates research findings into a perceptual and emotional framework, aiming to foster awareness, empathy and reflection without claiming to represent survivor experience directly. Design is positioned as a mediating practice that operates between research, ethics and public discourse, opening space for engagement with CRSV beyond purely informational or journalistic modes.

Master Proposals
(Written Research Framework)







This master proposal forms the written research framework of the thesis and examines how futures design can contribute to emotional resilience under conditions of permanent crisis. Rather than treating crises as isolated events with clear endpoints, the research builds on the understanding that ecological, political and economic crises overlap, transform and persist over time.

Drawing on futures research, including the work of Jim Dator, the proposal challenges the notion of a “post-crisis era” and asks how individuals can remain emotionally stable and capable of action in a world defined by ongoing disruption. In this context, resilience is understood not as a return to a previous state, but as continuous adaptability. Central to the inquiry is the tension between dystopian narratives and hopeful future imaginaries, and the question of how design can help sustain hope without denying reality.

The central research question guiding the proposal is:
“ How can futures design methods foster emotional resilience
in a state of permanent crisis?”


The research follows a speculative design approach, framed by the question: “What if hope wasn’t naive, but radical?” The practical component explores whether participatory and immersive futures experiences can generate positive future visions and influence emotional resilience.

Speculative methods were applied within the Re:Future workshop, where participants engaged in guided future-oriented scenarios. The resulting future visions were analyzed qualitatively, with particular attention to emotional responses and meaning-making processes. The evaluation is based on thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke, providing a structured framework for interpreting the emotional impact of speculative futures practices.

Master Thesis
(Documentation and Practical Implementation)









This master thesis documents the practical development and implementation of the research framework outlined in the master proposal submitted on March 5, 2025. Building on the theoretical investigation of emotional and collective future resilience, the thesis shifts focus from analysis to design-led application through a physical, participatory intervention.

Set against the backdrop of ongoing and overlapping crises such as climate change, social fragmentation and growing future-related anxiety, the work examines how emotionally resonant design can support individual and, in particular, collective forms of resilience. Resilience is approached as a social and emotional capacity, grounded in shared meaning-making rather than individual recovery alone. Optimism, identified as a central pillar of future resilience, is translated into a tangible design process intended to foster emotional orientation, connection and agency.

The project evolved from an initial exploration of individual sensory memory objects into a hybrid, collective format: a recurring time capsule event that is collaboratively created and collectively activated, while remaining personally meaningful. The time capsule functions as a repository for courage, orientation and shared narratives, allowing these emotional resources to be recalled during periods of uncertainty or upheaval.

By combining futures design methods with psychological theories of emotional coping, the thesis proposes an experiential and affective approach to navigating uncertainty over the coming decade. Design is positioned as a mediating tool for resilience, capable of holding both collective narratives and intimate messages, and of creating a bridge between present experience and future imagination.




2026 (Ongoing)
Wendepunkt







“Wendepunkt” is a long-term documentary publishing project based on in-depth interviews and portrait photography by Corinne Holthuizen-Habermann, examining personal moments of rupture, decision and transformation across different lives. Developed collaboratively over several years, the project investigates how individual turning points can be documented, contextualised and edited into a coherent narrative format.

The research focuses on interview methodology, ethical representation and the editorial translation of spoken testimony into written and visual form. Through recurring conversations, close reading of transcripts and careful selection of photographic material, Wendepunkt explores how lived experience can be shaped into a book format that balances intimacy, distance and journalistic responsibility. Publishing is approached not as a final output, but as an ongoing research process of listening, structuring and contextualising personal narratives.
