Available to hire
I’m a Senior Industrial Designer who loves turning ideas into tangible, mass-producible products. I have extensive experience leading cross-functional teams through the full product development lifecycle—from initial concept and market research to CAD development, prototyping, and production handoff. I thrive on translating customer needs and business goals into elegant, manufacturable solutions that elevate user experiences and drive growth.
I’m curious, collaborative, and committed to continuous learning, with deep knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and emerging trends. I enjoy rapid visualization, 2D/3D/AI-assisted design, and CMF exploration to quickly iterate and validate concepts, always balancing aesthetics, usability, and cost.
