Awarded for the winning concept in design and marketing -
selected by ETV as the official creative direction for the Waterpolo Bundesliga women’s team.
Produced jerseys based on my design and developed the full marketing & visual concept, which was honored by ETV.
“Lotus” was conceived as a symbol of strength, resilience, and empowerment in women’s sports:
blending washed-out jersey aesthetics with athletic prints and the lotus flower as a metaphor for growth through adversity.

TOP 5 GRADUATE OF GERMANY AT BERLIN FASHIONWEEK
I'm incredibly grateful to share that my bachelor's graduation collection at AMD Akademie Mode & Design Hamburg, addressing sexual violence through digital fashion, was presented at Neo.Fashion.26 during Berlin Fashion Week and recognized as one of the Top 5 Digital Fashion Projects in Germany.
The project was developed in cooperation with the Global Shapers Hamburg Hub e.V. and medica mondiale.
Earlier this year, we organized a T-shirt fundraising initiative, with all proceeds donated to medica mondiale to support its work against sexual violence in Iraq.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported this project along the way, my professors and classmates at AMD Hamburg, the team at Neo Fashion, the Global Shapers Hamburg Hub, medica mondiale, and everyone who contributed to the fundraising campaign. Your trust, encouragement, and support made this possible.
