As a product designer, I am committed to designing innovative and meaningful solutions that enhance people’s lives and experiences. Guided by principles of sustainable innovation, I prioritise driving positive change and contributing to a more sustainable future. This is carefully achieved through the consideration of materials, product life cycles, and disposal ease, minimising waste and optimising material usage. Drawing inspiration from organic forms, minimalist design, and science, I push the boundaries of creativity to deliver fresh and inventive solutions. Moreover, I advocate for inclusive design, ensuring accessibility for diverse user groups. Through these principles, I aim to create impactful designs that resonate with users and promote sustainability.

‘Green Dock’ is a project that aims to offer apartment residents with balconies a means to harness renewable energy for electricity generation. The product situated on the balcony railing harnesses electricity, which is then directed to a centralised powerhouse for storage. Within this powerhouse, users have access to portable power pods, enabling them to conveniently charge their devices at their workstations.
