About Me.
My true passion lies in crafting profound product experiences, driven by a firm belief in design's capacity to not only solve problems but also weave compelling narratives. My portfolio spans a diverse spectrum, ranging from consumer electronics to automobiles, wherein I've meticulously shaped captivating designs and fostered brand identities for both prominent and smaller-scale clients. The collaborative aspect of my work, where I engage with designers globally, adds an enriching dimension that I wholeheartedly embrace, and this synergy has garnered international accolades and honors.
My journey started as a mechanical engineering enthusiast, a "petrol head" if you will, with an inherent affinity for the intricate workings of machines. However, this love gradually transformed into something deeper – empathy, a driving force that ultimately steered me towards a thriving career in industrial design. Acquiring a master's degree in this field was a natural progression, enabling me to seamlessly blend functionality with boundless creativity, always in pursuit of that harmonious equilibrium.
Beyond the confines of my professional domain, you'll often find me at the gym, diligently pushing my physical boundaries. Yet, my ultimate elation is derived from participating in sports or immersing myself in the great outdoors.
