Accessible AI Infographics for the European Disability Forum (EDF)
AccessAble Guide Luxembourg
A two-part infographic series designed to make the impact of AI on persons with disabilities visible, understandable, and accessible — combining clear visual language, inclusive representation, and strong information hierarchy to help persons with disabilities, policymakers, and developers understand risks, opportunities, and responsibilities in inclusive AI.
During my traineeship at the European Parliament’s Digital Accessibility Team, I ensured the AccessAble Guide for Luxembourg—a collaboration between multiple EU institutions—was fully accessible (view Accessibility Report (PDF)). This 32-page resource helps newcomers navigate accommodation, transport, and leisure.
I handled content remediation to refine the guide for maximum usability, ensuring it meets accessibility standards.
Civic Data Lab – Toolkit for Data Projects Implementation
The material created (with Marko) for Corellaid offers comprehensive guidance and resources for successfully executing data initiatives within the civil society sector. This toolkit provides practical instructions and essential resources to facilitate the effective planning, execution, and evaluation of data projects, ensuring impactful outcomes. The worksheets are designed for flexibility, usable on Miro (online whiteboard), as printed materials, or as an interactive, accessible PDF form (view accessibility report (PDF)).
Zukunft ist jetzt!
Accessible Event Brochure
An accessible, visually cohesive brochure for the Zukunft ist jetzt! [The Future is Now!] conference, meeting PDF/UA standards (view accessibility report (PDF)) to ensure usability for all readers, including those using assistive technologies.

The conference focused on inclusive artistic education, pathways for creatives with disabilities to study at universities and alternatives of artistic education.

Flushing down data
The mundane act of flushing a toilet unveils a remarkable journey of data collection and analysis. In this exploration, we delve into how everyday sewage systems serve as a reservoir of valuable information, offering insights into public health, societal trends, and environmental impacts.
Let’s talk toilet paper
A data visualization project aimed at shedding light on the consumption and production resources associated with toilet paper and its alternatives. The project seeks to raise awareness about effective and sustainable alternatives for personal hygiene.
Feel the scent
Exploring the transformation of synthetic scents into tangible objects using algorithms and 3D-printing, this project delves into scent descriptions and classifications. Scents become tangible to both smell and touch. This approach facilitates a deeper understanding of scents, making them accessible and tangible.
An Infographic explaining Computer Vision and its Applications
The goal was to make that complex topic accessible through a visual explanation. Simple explanations, engaging visualizations, and visually appealing design.
