I design thoughtful physical products that blend function and feeling. With 3+ years of experience, I lead end-to-end projects and teach digital fabrication to enable hands-on innovation. My work has been exhibited at Stockholm Design Week and Milan Design Week.

About Me
About Me
I design for those small, satisfying moments : the click, the twist, the pause.
Not just to make things useful, but to make them enjoyable.

My work balances playful ideation with thoughtful execution. I help teams think freely and move fast - guiding bold ideas into tangible outcomes through clear direction, prototyping, and a hands-on design process.
I’ve led modular interior projects, coordinated across clients and vendors, and co-created lighting that blends cultural heritage with modern form.
Lately, I’ve been exploring how AI can support this process - not by replacing creativity, but by accelerating research, unlocking new directions, and streamlining workflows.
