Welcome
I’m Francesca
I design visual systems that scale and feel human.
I care about creating clear, supportive, and joyful experiences that fit naturally into everyday life. For me, visual design is about turning complexity into clarity, and systems into experiences that feel approachable, consistent, and thoughtfully crafted.
Working across in-house, agency, and freelance roles has shaped how I design within systems, collaborate across disciplines, and move ideas from concept to execution across surfaces and devices. I value craft, accessibility, and the small details that make products feel intuitive and trustworthy.
I’m excited by the opportunity to contribute to Health Platforms and Devices team by helping create visual experiences that motivate, guide, and quietly support people throughout their health journeys.

Case Study. Colorway was born in the heart of Barcelona’s Raval neighbourhood – a raw, vibrant and multicultural district brimming with street style, skate culture, migration and underground creativity. Here, stories are painted on walls, identities are in flux and style becomes a language.
Colorway is not just a sneaker app, but a platform for cultural storytelling, connection and authentic style.
The project is purely fictional and serves to demonstrate my UI/UX skills. All brands, logos and product images belong to their respective owners and are used for illustrative purposes only.

Objective: To transform Blackbox AI from a purely functional developer tool into a lifestyle brand that resonates with the 18–34 developer demographic.
The campaign pivots from Technical Efficiency (how it works) to Emotional Benefit (how it changes your life). By automating the „boring“ parts of coding, Blackbox AI isn’t just selling software—it’s selling time and freedom
- Demographic: Developers aged 18–34.
- Psychographic: Active, social, and ambitious. They value high-performance gear, work-life balance, and „clutch“ moments in both sports and career.
- Key Hobbies: Fitness/Gym, Motorsports, Basketball, Football, and Life Milestones (Relationships/Family).
- Style: High-contrast, „Grit-Look,“ and bold typography.
- Concept: „The Human Code.“ Visuals use a split-screen or overlay technique comparing the sterile world of the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) with the vibrant world of the user’s passions.
- Tone: Bold, provocative, and „Gen-Z“ savvy. It uses street-slang to create an insider feeling for the dev community.
By building an emotional connection through the #BeyondTheCode movement, the company:
- Reduces Churn: Users stay for the brand identity, not just the utility.
- Improves Reputation: Softens the „technical/cold“ image and addresses user complaints by showing a focus on human well-being.
- Differentiates: Creates a clear „cool factor“ that GitHub Copilot or Google Gemini cannot easily replicate.
Bachelor’s thesis. As part of my bachelor’s thesis in communication design with a focus on corporate identity, I developed the corporate identity for the start-up CISU, founded by Giulia Fabian in the entrepreneurship workshop at Ruhr University Bochum. CISU offers companies and coaches a platform for consulting and coaching services. I created a timeless, simple design with a warm character and developed an interactive prototype website that puts the consultants in the spotlight. I also designed business documents, letters, invoices and business cards.

Design competition. My digital artwork took second place in the design competition on Oditi for Masego’s Glastonbury performance, beating over 160 other entries. The design features dark, rich colours and shows Masego in a sparkling white suit, deeply immersed in his music on the saxophone. My artwork reflects the emotional depth and unique sound of his music and captures the elegant, glamorous atmosphere of a jazz club.

In addition to my design work, I am also active as an artist in the field of digital painting and have had solo exhibitions in Cologne, Barcelona and Bochum. This creative practice helps me to think differently, see differently and design boldly. I also work as a stock photographer for Unsplash, which allows me to further expand my visual diversity.
Artwork. The name Aziza comes from Arabic and means “the cherished” or “the beloved.” The painting explores trust, the trust that the right people (and souls) will find their way to us. It is about love in all its forms.
Fish represent beloved people and animals, the snake stands for death and farewell, and the fish eggs symbolize the future, the hope of meeting new beloved beings. Life and death exist side by side, intertwined in a quiet cycle. The plant at the center represents depth and a sense of safety, while the underwater atmosphere evokes a protected, peaceful space, a place of love, remembrance, and renewal.
Artwork. “Las observaciones” was created during a phase in which I reflected a lot on my life and the people around me. The birds represent my desire for freedom, the fish symbolize the relationships in my environment, especially with my twin sister. The sunflowers represent turning toward one’s own light; they bloom and face the light even in difficult situations, while the water, reaching up to my lips, represents both the flow of life and its challenges. My portrait shows me in the midst of life: calm and focused despite all difficulties.
Artwork. Two faces, embedded in the desert sand. They represent my twin sister and me—two souls, but also two sides of the same story. Our hair merges with the dunes; for us, the desert represents our roots, a place of challenge, and inner silence all at once.
In the center floats an uprooted tree. It does not touch the ground. It symbolizes the sense of detachment that so many of us know. Yet, within this uprooting lies a hidden freedom: those who are not tied down can plant themselves anywhere. It is all a matter of perspective.
