Hello! My name is Yujia Zhu, I’m a Product Design Engineer driven by curiosity and a love for building things that work not only functionally but also beautifully. I take on the problems that engineers avoid, and I turn designer's ideas into buildable structures. My background lies in product industrialization, additive manufacturing, and prototyping — the kind of work that turns ideas into tangible reality. After graduating from Politecnico di Milano in Design & Engineering, I spent the past few years in the industrial field, learning how products are truly born — from sketch to 3D modelling, from prototyping to production line. I’m now exploring new career paths where I can merge my design passion with my love for outdoor sports, creating products that connect innovation, functionality, and adventure.
