My design journey has been about finding my voice and understanding the right approach to share my ideas with the world. Sensitivity and attention to detail are what I value the most in the creative process.
Final Project
OTIUM x Skillshare
OTIUM is a location in a form of a creative hub where people can pursue and pick up new hobbies. The main goal of the platform is to promote the benefits of having leisure time, such as improving mental health and having a balanced work life. With an opportunity to bring a digital platform into the real world, OTIUM is partnering up with one of the most popular online learning websites – Skillhare.
Merchandise
Tools and kits are an invaluable aspect of a creative hobby. Each kit includes high-quality GOOuache paints and CRAYOOns, ensuring a seamless experience for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. The design elements are inspired by Skillshare’s brand identity and OTIUM’s visual language.
Outside the Line: Workshops
By embracing the core values of the hobby hub, the project creates a safe and inspiring space where individuals can pursue their passions, nurture their mental well-being, and strike a harmonious balance between work and life. The hub is more than just a place to learn skills; it is a catalyst for personal transformation, self-discovery, and the pursuit of a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Embroidered Patches
From classic literature to contemporary bestsellers, the Threaded Stories embroidered patches feature iconic symbols that capture the essence of each story. Additionally, readers can celebrate their love of literature and personal goals with the line of achievement patches. They are designed to commemorate reading milestones, from completing a romance novel to reaching a certain number of books read in a year.
Digital Story
Completing the Threaded stories collection has never been easier. Using the app, every book lover can create and edit their own reading list, purchase a bundle of patches and even check out what their friends are reading.
The Experience
Once you finish the book, look through the Threaded Stories app to find the corresponding patch, and keep track of your collection in a unique way. The choice of patches is completely up to every reader and their preferences. That’s what makes Threaded Stories different.

From cosy blankets to stylish book cover sleeves, the Threaded Stories collection is the perfect way to celebrate the love of reading. Each item features a whimsical design inspired by some of the most beloved books of all time, making them the perfect way to start a conversation or connect with fellow book lovers.

We aim to celebrate the beauty of storytelling. Each item is carefully crafted with intricate designs and vibrant colours that bring to life some of the most beloved tales from around the world. With the Threaded Stories collection, readers can bring the magic of books into their life and enjoy it for years to come.
Pocket Museum
Pocket Museum is a service which will make the museum visiting experience more valuable by collecting the exhibits during a walk-through. It creates a space where accessing information is easier, more accessible and enhances the cultural value of each visit.
App Design
The app design references a newspaper design and it is minimalistic. The collected exhibits will shine through and it is easy to navigate due to colour codes.
At the Tip of Your Fingers
The first step of collecting exhibitions is very easy – the user has to walk up to the specific object or artwork they want to collect. They then have to scan it using their app – similar to how you would scan a QR code. Then a ticket would appear on the screen – that means you have collected the exhibit in your pocket.
