Hi, I am Alina. I work across graphic, motion and interactive design.
If I am not designing, I am most likely learning something new, climbing a mountain, or dying at the finish line of a local parkrun.

Coral Bleaching

Coral bleaching is a major environmental crisis that is still not widely discussed. Rising ocean temperatures are causing coral reefs to die, putting entire marine ecosystems and millions of people who depend on them at risk.

To address this, I designed an interactive installation that allows users to experience what happens when ocean temperatures rise. As users touch the corals, they can see how they turn white on the screen, creating a direct emotional connection to the impact of climate change.

The project was developed using Unreal Engine for the interactive environment and Blender for designing and 3D printing the coral models. I also integrated capacitive touch sensors connected to an Arduino, which sends real-time interaction data into Unreal Engine to drive the experience.

Human + Machine

Circulatory, or Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading global cause of death, responsible for over 19 million deaths each year.

This project explores how biofeedback data from human bodies can be visualised to communicate complex problems and raise awareness of CVD.

The installation was made with TouchDesigner, Heartbeat sensor and Arduino. Visual respond to the participants’ heartbeat .

(in)visible

Sometimes (more often than I’d like to admit), I’m late because I can’t find my keys, cards, and other small things. I wanted to solve this problem for myself and for others by exploring simple ideas that make everyday objects easier to find. It started from the question:

What if small and easy-to-lose objects could be more visible?
