︎ This is Arianna's visual archive: an incomplete constellation of projects, traces, and experiments.
I'm a Polish-Italian designer working at the intersection of visual research, systemic transitions, and ecological imagination. At Dark Matter Labs I move between roles depending on what a project needs: visual sensemaking, design strategy, narrative direction. My practice is always collaborative, shaped by the people and places I work with, and by a stubborn curiosity about how things are made, who they are for, and who gets to shape them.
Outside of DML, I perform with a theremin in the sound duo Younger Siblings, and I carry with me the education philosophy I helped build at La Scuola Open Source in Bari, where I once directed the education programme: learning as a collective, failure as method, permission not to know.

This website is an archive: part memory, part method, part map. It isn’t intended as a formal portfolio. For that, reach out to my human version.
︎
Projects are intentionally scattered rather than sorted. Some are dense, complex ecosystems that unfolded over months or years. Others are small but charged with meaning. I’ll soon add a diagram to map them by complexity, scope, ethics, impact, methodology, and who collaborated with me on what.
Scrolling the image gallery you’ll find research inquiries, commissioned freelance work, poetic interventions, and pieces made in response to real and imagined futures. Some are made for people, some with them ︎︎︎ and some are dedicated to beings with many legs, wings, or forgotten stories.
︎
The projects speak many languages as the involved partners: Italian, English, French, Polish, Dutch, Icelandic, German mostly, but not only. Full credits are on their way. Nothing here was made alone. ︎

This site isn’t super user-friendly yet. A more accessible and funkier version is planned for 2026-27.
