Information Design
The term 'information design' emerged as a multidisciplinary area of study in
the 1970s. There had been a NATO-sponsored conference at Het Vennebos in The Netherlands, and its
proceedings were published by John Wiley under the title ‘Information Design’ in 1979.
Quoting the definition of the Information Design Association: "...the discipline applies processes of
design
to the communication of information (its content and language as well as its form). It was
intended to be a counterpoint to the corporate identity and glitzy graphics that seemed to take over
graphic design in the 80s."

Today, the field of Information Design is often connected with data visualization, information architecture, and visual journalism, as the main focus of these disciplines is on displaying information effectively. As an Information designer, I can actively research or refine data related to any kind of topic: I often design not only a bespoke container but also the content. Combining data journalism techniques and storytelling, I craft compelling visual stories with the most appropriate medium. I can support researchers, journalists, scientists, etc. in extracting and organizing data (text, images, charts, numbers, maps, graphs, sound) for digital, printed, or interactive outputs.

Reading Pinocchio
The poster offers a critical reading of Carlo Collodi's book “The Adventures of Pinocchio. Story of
a puppet", through a sentiment analysis of the text. Published in 1883, the original story is much
richer than the various cinematic adaptations.
Waste Streams – Tracing Romania's Tangled Trash
In the form of a sorting facility, the installation exposes the waste management system by analysing
statistics, policies, and legislations within Romania and across Europe.
The Names on the Moon
"The Names on the Moon" is a stroll on the lunar surface through its nomenclature system. The names
of streets,
cities, and countries are intertwined with the historical development of societies and cultures; but
what’s the procedure for naming satellites, stars, and planets?
The Terminal
The terminal-inspired video installation analyses the expansion of budget airlines from the ground:
the evolution of Ryanair’s 35 years
of activity is told through timetables showing the network of destinations and air bases.
Satellites Charts
The research examines current and past artificial satellites
orbiting around Earth, pointing out how our terrestrial life became so dependent on what we sent out
in space.
More than eight thousand satellites
are marked on a beeswarm plot: the chart acts as point of departure to explore space stories and
environmental issues.
The Weapons’ Reputation
The project questions the integrity of the arms trade as a
legal
transfer of weapons among countries. In the form of a short documentary, "The Weapons' Reputation"
investigates the Yemeni civil conflict from the type of weaponry employed in the conflict.
