I see design as a balance between logic and creativity, aiming to develop meaningful and human-centered solutions. My process is rooted in systems thinking and enriched by my growing interest in sustainability and long-term impact. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I’ve worked with interdisciplinary teams to create functional, manufacturable, and meaningful products. My graduate studies have broadened my perspective helping me think not only about how things work, but also about how they can last and adapt over time. I’m passionate about simplifying complexity through design and developing ideas that truly work in the real world.
Behind every product I create, there’s a set of principles I never compromise on and you can read them all in my manifesto.
