As an interaction designer with a passion for physical product design, 3D design, music production, and embedded electronics, I’ve explored various creative disciplines over the years. Through multiple design projects, I’ve discovered that my true passion lies in the latter stage of the design process, when concepts transition into tangible designs, and the physical form starts to emerge.

I enjoy experimenting with materials, shapes, sizes, tactile qualities, and aesthetics, and I feel most fulfilled when an idea becomes something that can be seen, touched, and experienced.

projects

opendisplay

An ongoing exploration of a 64×64 RGB LED matrix in a home setting.

Hybrid prototyping exploration

This thesis explores a hybrid prototyping approach for functional prototyping, aimed at lowering technical barriers for interaction design students and recent graduates.

Haptic media browsing interface

This research aimed to design a non-visual interface in order to simplify music library navigation in cars using haptic rotary dials.

Design for Panomio

As a product designer at Panomio, I am responsible for the full user experience and visual identity of the product.

Audio sampler

This project successfully developed a functional audio sampler, similar to commercial models, while providing insights into their design and functionality.

Shaping sound

This project explored the development of an interactive, collaborative music-making ecosystem designed for novices, using four primitive-shaped objects that influence the soundscape in unique ways.

opentable

Conceptual open source furniture building process. Focusing on invisible joints and clean aesthetics

Gallery

In my free time I like to design artifacts and scenes of things that I find pretty, whether it is furniture, common objects or anything else.
