I’m a Wellington-based industrial designer with a passion for turning complex challenges into practical, user-centred products. I recently completed a Bachelor of Design with Honours in Industrial Design and have hands-on experience in product development, prototyping, and ergonomic research. My background includes customer service and retail roles that sharpened my ability to translate feedback into meaningful design decisions. I enjoy collaborative, cross-disciplinary work and bringing ideas from concept to tangible prototypes. I combine design thinking with fabrication know-how, such as using workshop tools and forklifts, to ensure ideas are not only innovative but also feasible and sustainable in real-world contexts.
