Summary

I'm a passionate product designer with a strong foundation in crafting functional and aesthetically driven furniture solutions. With experience in translating customer insights and brand strategy into meaningful products, I thrive on designing pieces that elevate everyday environments. My approach blends market research, thoughtful conceptualisation, and hands-on prototyping to develop innovative, user-centred designs. Skilled in tools like Rhino, AutoCAD, and KeyShot, I ensure each design is feasible, cost-effective, and aligned with manufacturing standards. I believe in the power of collaboration, cohesive design language, and attention to detail to bring well-crafted furniture from concept to production.
