MA Design Product candidate at the Royal College of Art (2025–2026). With a year of industry experience collaborating across high-stakes sectors—including robotics, automotive, and glasscraft. My practice spans diverse typologies—from furniture and consumer electronics to packaging—defined by technical precision in advanced 3D modelling and high-fidelity physical prototyping. Driven by the belief that sustainable design is a mandatory framework, I seek to blur the boundaries between users and materials through participatory systems. I don’t just design objects; I create platforms for engagement.
