Class Board 2025 - University of Pennsylvania
Elected as the Creative Director of the Class Board 2025, I created marketing materials that contributed to reaching 1500+ participants in events and designed merchandize that were sold to more than 2000 students at Penn. I manage and create marketing material (graphics, promotional videos, event photos) for the Class Board 2025 instagram account, create logos and designs for merchandize (lantern, t-shirt, sweatpants, bucket hat, stickers, etc), and organize events for the Class of 2025 students with the Class Board 2025 team.
I designed a logo for lanterns and t-shirts for the U-Night event, which is one of the biggest traditions of the University of Pennsylvania where sophomore students celebrate their halfway mark at Penn. More than 2000 lanterns and t-shirts were given out to the students during the event.
I manage and create graphics, promotional videos, and other marketing material for the Class Board 2025 instagram account.
I designed a logo and created a brand for PxP (Penn x Philadelphia), a campus-wide initiative to increase community engagement on behalf of Penn students. This is a collaboration between the Class Board 2025 and the Student Advisory Board of the Netter Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
1044 Project for Romani Children is a project created by Animo Society, a student-organized club from The British International School of Bratislava (BISB) in Slovakia that raises awareness and solves societal problems of the Romani people.
The COVID-19 crisis has changed the lives of millions abruptly, and it has made many of us forget the other crises that cause suffering to numerous communities. Poverty in the segregated Romani communities is one of those crises; 87% of the Romani population live below the poverty line and frequently receive discrimination. Children are one of those who are most affected, due to the lack of attention and resources in education.
Therefore, Animo Society launched 1044 Project for Romani Children and reached out to several Romani villages in Slovakia; we created and sent educational activity kits every week to the children of those villages. From interactive art projects to playful math activities, we created activity kits that foster creativity and a love for learning in the children. Starting from April 2020, we've created over 10 weeks' worth of activity kits with themes such as Coronavirus safety, brain stimulation graphics, mathematics, and Romani history and culture. With the money we've raised through gogetfunding.com, we've sent approximately 4,500 activity kits to 15 Romani villages and educational institutions in Slovakia, cooperating with Cesta Von (Slovak NGO) and Catholic communities.

I Am Roma - Promotional Animated Film
Directed a promotional animated film with a Slovak NGO; led a production team of 15 people; contributed to NGO fundraising.
I Am Roma is a story of a Romani child discovering her true self and learning the history and heritage of the Romani people. This is an animatic consisting of storyboarded panels with temporary soundtrack. The original animatic is 6 minutes long.
This film is a combination of stop-motion and 2D animation. I used stop-motion animation techniques to make the film more realistic and lifelike while using 2D digital techniques to create dreamlike scenery and complement the lifelike part of the film. I also created a puppet of the main character using corn husk, a traditionally used ingredient for making Eastern European traditional puppets. By using dialogue voiced by a Slovak child and an elderly woman, I attempted to raise awareness of the Romani people's struggles in the Slovak community and evoke emotions in both Slovak and Romani people.
