Product Design Portfolio




PROFILE 

I am a product designer focused on creating solutions that are as functional as they are beautiful. My design process is rooted in research, empathy, and iteration, allowing me to respond to real-world needs with clarity and intention. I believe great design balances purpose and aesthetic  where form follows function, and function is informed by human experience. Whether I’m prototyping assistive devices or refining everyday objects, my goal is to make design that improves lives and fits seamlessly into them.
