About Bianca

In my work, I always consider design in the context of usability, accessibility, and responsibility. I support organizations and companies in communicating complex content in a understandable, accessible, and visually precise manner – especially when brands want to evolve, show attitude, and become more inclusive.
I work with an intersectional design approach that considers different life realities, accessibilities, and power dynamics. Formally, I translate this attitude into a design that is reduced and structured, but thrives on confident accents and clear design decisions.

AI presents design with new challenges and should only be used where it meaningfully supports processes. I see my role as professionally accompanying and critically evaluating AI-supported work, and transforming generic output into quality and originality through design experience.

Education

  • Master of Arts (1.0 – with honors)
    Trier University of Applied Sciences
    2024
    Im Masterstudium vertiefte ich mich weiter in diskriminierungssensibles Design auf den Ebenen der Sprache und Typografie und erweiterte meine Kenntnisse zu diesem Thema auch in anderen Designbereichen. Vor allem verfolgte ich feministisch-intersektionale Projekte und Antirassismus in der Gestaltung.
  • Bachelor of Arts (1.2 – with honors)
    Trier University of Applied Sciences
    2021
    ch fokussierte mich innerhalb des Studiums auf User Experience, User Interface und Editorial Design. Dort erlernte die praxisnahe und interdisziplinäre Entwicklung konzeptueller Kreativität in Verbindung mit technischen Kenntnissen, ästhetische und technische Fragestellungen des Interface- und Webdesigns, Verständnis für die Gestaltbarkeit von Interaktionsräumen, Grundlagen in HTML, CSS, JavaScript und die Gestaltung von Layout und Typografie. Meine Bachelorarbeit bestand neben der regulären Thesis, in der ich Storytelling anthropologisch untersuchte, aus dem Schreiben und der Gestaltung eines 364-seitigen Buches, das achtzehn Interviews mit eigenen Portraitfotos und Illustrationen zu jedem Artikel beinhaltet. Ergänzt wurde dies durch eine AR-Funktionalität auf einzelnen Seiten. Die Bachelorthesis, die praktische Umsetzung und das Kolloquium schloss ich jeweils mit der Note 1,0 ab.
