Biography

I am an industrial designer with experience working on diverse, cross-disciplinary projects across the design industry, developing a wide range of products with a strong emphasis on tangible, hands-on design. My practice focuses on design for manufacturing (DFM), innovative product consultation, and user experience design across both physical and digital platforms. Building on this foundation, my work increasingly explores interactive systems that bridge physical artifacts with immersive digital technologies, aiming to create intuitive, accessible, and meaningful user experiences through research-led design and prototyping.
