That’s not for girls! She should be in a pink princess dress!

Everyone knows the typical gender color clichés — pink for girls, blue for boys — but few realize this wasn’t always the case. In a team of three, we created an interactive exhibition piece exploring the origins and impact of these stereotypes, featuring historical insights, the “pink tax,“ and playful, hands-on elements like a gender-themed Tic-Tac-Toe.

Scapegoats for the unexplainable.

Did witches really exist?
While the question remains debated, one thing is clear: witch accusations led to horrific trials and executions. In a team of three, we created a ten-page leporello and a Figma prototype tracing the origins of the witch craze, challenging myths with clear visuals and well-researched facts.

It‘s Your Turn – make it count.

“Your Turn“ is a card game for 2–4 players aged 10+, developed during a university project to raise awareness about climate change. Players must collaborate to prevent disasters using three types of cards: catastrophes, initiatives, and events. Through clear visuals and thoughtful design, the game encourages reflection and action on one of the most urgent issues of our time.

Building a strong visual identity for Cutting Edge.

In February 2024, the rock band Cutting Edge was founded in Filderstadt.
I developed their visual identity by designing the band logo and documenting each of their live performances through photography for use on social media.
Currently, I am creating a concert poster for their next major gig and setting up their official social media presence to strengthen their public profile.

A dark, bass-heavy house banger with pure underground energy.

Visualizing Sound
In a group of four, we created a one-minute animation based on the track Notorious by DJ MALAA, translating its rhythm and energy into bold black-and-white visuals. Through shape, motion, and timing, we visualized the music’s structure and supported the result with a matching exhibition poster.

Thanks to
Manuel Ün

Behind every piece of jewelry lies a story shaped by hand.

In a three-minute documentary, we captured the world of goldsmith Manuel Ün — a blend of tradition, precision, and artistry. Filmed as part of our university course, the project combines thoughtful visuals and personal insight to showcase the beauty behind this traditional craft.

Every Frame Tells a Story.

We were asked to create a social media account on a topic of our choice, post daily for a month, and track how many people we could reach. Along the way, we explored strategies behind successful content — from writing engaging comments and using the right number of hashtags to analyzing the impact of stories and links.

About Me

Hi, I’m Myriam — a 23-year-old communication design student currently in my fourth semester.

While I haven’t committed to a specific focus yet, I’m currently most inspired by photography, exhibition design, and motion design.
Outside of university, you’ll rarely find me without a camera in hand. And when I’m not looking through a lens, I’m probably enjoying coffee and cake — or soaking in the atmosphere of a theater.
