01The Monumentality of the Everyday2022
Design and art direction with Lira Gjikolli for the Kosovo Pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale, The Monumentality of the Everyday by Jakup Ferri. The identity drew from Ferri’s multidimensional work, using characters from his drawings, paintings, and textiles across digital and print materials, including the catalog and pavilion website.

Commissioned by: Alisa Gojani–Berisha
Supported by: The Ministry of Culture, Youth

03Design and Visual Communication by Bruno Munari
2025 Book design at IN-FO.CO under Adam Michaels for Design and Visual Communication by Bruno Munari, the first English translation of Design e Comunicazione Visiva (1968).

05Portable Measuring Tape Tool2024
This project was developed in the Web to Print class at California College of the Arts MFA Design program. I first designed a user manual for a portable measuring tape using Google Sheets, focusing on numbers. Working within Sheets’ constraints, I later reverse-engineered a layout from my manual and recreated it as a web page using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This was my first coding experience, making it a unique way to explore design and code.

Instructors: Jon Sueda & Mathew Kneebone

06X in Crisis
2024 Inspired by Ines Cox’s methodology of Design Cannibalization, this project reinterprets the structure of a Twitter/X profile as a framework for poster design. The approach abstracts the platform’s interface into a system of building blocks to convey information visually. One poster disrupts the framework by overlaying "X" symbols, referencing the platform’s rebrand and visually echoing its transition. The other remains true to Twitter’s original profile layout. Together, the posters reflect the identity crisis triggered by the platform’s transformation—one that mirrors the uncertainty of its users.

07Notan Architectural Design2022
Architectural plans and geometric shapes formed the foundation of the studio’s visual identity. The logotype is designed for flexible use in various forms, while the letter “o” serves as a standalone brand icon.

08The Archaeological Museum of Prizren2022 The Archaeological Museum of Prizren, housed in a 15th-century Ottoman-era Hamam, opened in 1975. Its identity design draws inspiration from the building’s Ottoman architecture, particularly its arch-shaped interiors and the bold rectangle of the 1948 Clock Tower. The goal was to create a modern, flexible identity for both print and digital use.  Alongside the identity, I designed the museum’s signage, information panels, and exhibition materials, integrating my background in architecture and graphic design to enhance the visitor experience.
